Greetings and salutations Hivers. Today let’s go into another Three Tune Tuesday post.
As always, thanks to @ablaze for making this series. Lots of people participate in it! Follow the tags to find a ton of good music recommendation.
Today I have another mix of different genres. Trying to keep switching things up to stay interesting.
Middle Aged Dad Jam Band – 867–5309/Jenny
As I wrote a few weeks ago, these guys just might be becoming my favorite YouTube group. They do a great job with all their covers while having a lot of fun.
And now this! Besides my childhood phone number and the code to Mike Tyson, Jenny’s number is the one number I will never forget. (I’d bet it’s the same for everyone my age.)
Postmodern Jukebox feat. Tatum Langley – Basket Case by Green Day (“Mrs. Maisel” Style Cover)
Another YouTube favorite. Who can’t love Postmodern Jukebox, with their crazy mashups of songs and styles? This one flips a 90s anthem into a 50s swing lounge number. Unexpected, but it works.
Amazing performance! But…. for some reason it reminds me of Weird Al’s polka cover of the song. I suppose that’s both a compliment and a warning.
Bohemian Rhapsody Flashmob
Does this count as a song for #ttt? I think so! While it obviously doesn’t hold a candle to the original, it’s still a joy. A massive choir of strangers belting out Queen in the middle of Paris — what’s not to love?
One of these days I’d love to stumble into one of these flashmobs in person. For now, videos like this will have to do.
So what’s your favorite?
