Lady MADONNA!

Don't know if this is real or set up, but it made me laugh.  The title of the video is "Math Teacher Caught Singing Madonna - Like a Virgin."

Here are 2 fun MADONNA covers with links to i-tunes.  In both cases I REALLY prefer the studio version over the live youtube footage.

The first is by folk group THE CHAPIN SISTERS.  They consist of Abigail and Lily Chapin (daughters of folk singer Tom Chapin) and their half-sister Jessica Craven (daughter of director Wes Craven.) Love their harmonies on BORDERLINE.  The studio version appears on a Madonna Tribute album called "Through The Wilderness: A Tribute to Madonna."  This is the best track on the album.

I already did a post about TRASH POUR 4.... but they are certainly worth mentioning again.  Here is their jazzy take on MATERIAL GIRL.

I Love TRASH!

Here is a SUPER DUPER fun new discovery! 

TRASH POUR 4 is a 4-piece combo from Sao Paulo, Brazil.  They do WONDERFUL covers of pop tunes (mostly 70's and 80's) in a jazz/bossa nova/lounge setting.   They remind me a bit of the splendid group PINK MARTINI!  

They have 2 great albums.  

The first "Recycle Volume 1" came out in 2005 and "Super Duper" was released in 2006.  They both can be found on i-tunes.

Favorite covers (you should download) are.. 

Madonna's "Material Girl"

Carpenters' "Close To You"

Erasure's "A Litte Respect" 

Irving Berlin's "Puttin' On The Ritz" (look out "Puttin On The Ritz - TACO COVER!")

They also do a wonderful cover of Nirvana's "Lithium"

Here is them doing Irving Berlin's PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ.

Here is a VERY different take on YOU'RE SO VAIN!

Here are 2 videos showing them making "SUPER DUPER."  I have no idea what they are saying half of the time, but I find them very fascinating!!! These are long, so only watch if you are digging them so far (or are super bored!)
