Sorry, whuntva. Please forgive me for playing the Bruce's "Manish Boy" game but I detected some minor inaccuracies in the names of artists or songs or in the video selections on this (excellent) game. It's not your fault at all, in some cases people who nominated the song did not put the exact name or an exact video link and you simply followed them. I'm absolutely aware that I'm nitpicking but anyway:
- The video you posted of "Longtime Sunshine" is not the original version by River Cuomo but the Weezer one. According to
Weezerpedia (yes, I'm not joking) and to this exhaustive
Weezer sessionography the song was recorded as a demo in late 1994 by Rivers Cuomo and first released in 2007 as the seventh track of "Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo" (that was the version acroamor specified). Weezer recorded it in August of 1995 on the "Pinkerton" sessions and this version was first released in 2010 as the twelfth track of the second CD of "Pinkerton (Deluxe Edition)." The nitpicking comes when in fact Weezer only added a coda ending to the Cuomo demo version and the Rivers Cuomo version only can be found in Youtube as part of the whole album (you can listen to it
here from 13:41). So you can leave the same link if you want but the song acroamor selected actually ends at 3:06. Yes, yes, I know…
- Both the single "
Stranger in a Strange Land" and the album "Leon Russell and The Shelter People" are credited to
Leon Russell and The Shelter People and not to Leon Russell alone.
- Lord Invader, Duke of Iron, Macbeth the Great -
Calypso War (enough said about this one).
- The 1937 original release of "
Minor's Swing" is credited to Quintette du Hot Club de France, that included Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelly on their line-up. Reinhardt and Grappelly recorded the song again in 1949 in Rome with Italian musicians and
this version was first released as "Minor Swing" in 1949 on the album "
14 enregistrements inédits" credited to Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelly. Romain didn't provide a specific link for the game but since the link on his thread "France - One song per day" is for the 1937 version the credits probably should go to the
Quintette du Hot Club de France as
Minor's Swing.
- The two first albums by Owen Pallett were released under the name
Final Fantasy and the song "The CN Tower Belongs to the Dead" was on the
first album.
- Some albums by Todd Rundgren during the 90s (including 1993's "No World Order") were released under the pseudonym
TR-i. And the video link you provided comes from a "live" version (although it includes only live vocals over the pre-recorded music backing). But the "original" studio version is not easy to trace on the net because "No World Order" was an interactive album when the listener could change sequence, tempo, mood and mix, so the songs never sounded the same, it depended on the listener. And the link Henry provided (
from 6:43 to 10:52) is an edit version from an album Todd Rundgren (sorry, Tr-i) released the following year, "No World Order Lite" (1994). So the original version ("
No World Order 1.1" as mixed by Todd Rundgren and lasting 6:22) is not on Youtube but you can find it on
Spotify as part of the 2011 Expanded Edition.
- "Why We Build the Wall," the Anaïs Mitchell song features Greg Brown on lead vocals and probably should be credited to
Anaïs Mitchell feat. Greg Brown.
- And, taking the nitpicking to the most extreme, the songs from Box Tops and Pointer Sisters on their original releases were credited to The Box Tops and The Pointer Sisters, with the
The.
I know these are minor innacuracies but probably you could include these changes on Round 2.
