Never Found A Girl

Due to my recent obsession with power pop and boredom due to studying, I decided to record another cover. Y'know that one song "Stacy's Mom" with the really, really boring video? Yeah that one. The video is kinda cheesy except for the little kid dressed as Ric Ocasek in the beginning. That's the best part. It's a kinda generic new wave tune, but I kinda like it, for some reason. My singing's absolutely horrible during the verses, but I thought it was okay during the chorus (especially the last one).

And this is the best collaboration I've ever heard. There's this cover song called "Never Found A Girl" by Eddie Floyd that is, for lack of a better word, amazing. It's made even more beautiful by the fact that, like Kurt Cobain, Alex Chilton is dead. It's weird, even when people like Kurt and Alex and Benjamin Orr are dead, they're still singing those words of despair, joy, longing, or whatever. I'm pretty sure I should say something else, but I can't find the lines. Just watch the video.
