Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I am not one for reggae but this seemed just the right amount and nicely laid back so they get my vote.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-7580527965985632282022-04-01T14:34:33.257-04:002022-04-01T14:34:33.257-04:00MMQE ~

I had to listen to BOTH recordings twice each before finally settling on <b>SkaZoo</b>. I guess mainly because it was *different* but not TOO *different*.<br /><br />The singer in the first band was gettin' pretty funky with the vocals toward the end of the song. I wish he'd done it earlier and longer, as he might have won my bote that way.<br /><br />Goot Battle, Mary!<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://stmccpresentsbattleofthebands.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">STMcC Presents BATTLE OF THE BANDS</a></b><br />Stephen T.

Both versions are pretty good. I had to go back and forth about these. In the end I had to go with Cave Canem's more true to the original version. I preferred their instrumentation and vocals to the reggae version. It was a bit rough in parts, but over all more my preferred style.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br /><br /><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-37560292100147473022022-04-01T10:10:10.417-04:002022-04-01T10:10:10.417-04:00It didn't take me long to pick one.

Any barfly who had the opportunity to listen to them wouldn't complain (thinking of that country bar scene in Blues Brothers). I wish we knew more about the origin of the lyrics, but they do seem to lend themselves to a reggae rendition if not originally inspired by reggae. My vote goes to Skazoo.

I'm not huge reggae fan but sometimes when stacked against the more traditional sound it somehow appeals to me more, maybe it's because it's different or maybe it's because it adds a fun vibe to the cover. Oh well, whatever the reason please give my vote to <b>Skazoo</b>! Have a bandtastic day.<br /><br />Sending love and prayers your way, my dear!<br /><br /><a href="https://curiousasacathy.com/licence-to-kill-botb-showdown/" rel="nofollow">Licence to Kill BOTB Showdown</a>Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.com
