VOTE 2008: Kurtis' Kovers
Welcome to day one of VOTE 2008! It has been one year since I launched this site and I am happy to say that it is still going strong! I still have a few years worth of Disney covers to share with you so here's to another glorious year!
It's not too late to get your vote in for the other categories! If you haven't voted yet, do it right now!
Today I am sharing with you my top five favourite covers. So enough talking and let's get on with it!
5. The Silly Symphony - On the Record Original Cast
I absolutely love this medley of all of the Disney songs with nonsense words from the On the Record Broadway musical, especially when they start singing all over them at the same time! A few they missed: Oo-De-Lallly, La La Lu, Trashin' the Camp, Passamashloddy, Substitutiary Locomotion.
4. The Three Caballeros - Bing Crosby & the Andrews Sisters
Being a Disney fan, I have also grown to be a big Andrews Sisters fan. I was introduced to them by Johnny Fedora & Alice Blue Bonnet and Little Toot and became interested in their other work. This cover is one of the many songs they sing with Bing and it is wonderful.
3. What's This? - Fall Out Boy
I never gave Fall Out Boy the time of day until I heard this song. Their cover is so much fun that I had to check out the band's other material and it's not that bad! They have recently recorded a cover of Beat It which doesn't hold a candle to Jackson's original but is still good.
2. Grim Grinning Ghosts - Barenaked Ladies
No, I didn't pick this song just to be topical. Even though Steven Page got busted for drug possession I still think he and his band are great. And this cover is not exception. I love the original and this cover adds the quirky BNL flavour that truly captures the feel of the ride: Fun and creepy! Also, be sure to listen to this track with stereo speakers.
1. Part of Your World - Sumitsu & the Suemith
Here is the first song I posted on this site. In fact, this song was what inspired me to start this blog! I thought this cover was so creative and unexpected that I had to share it with a bunch of people! It remains my favourite Disney cover to date.
That's all for today! Tomorrow I reveal the covers that you thought you'd never hear!

My sis loves the Fall Out Boy version of Beat It, even though she's a HUGE Michael Jackson fan.
And I agree on your #5. That was a very good idea for a Disney medley!
