Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Flavor podcast network. You're listening to Staycissura and
Charlie's Off.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
The Record, Your record off the Record with just Days
in Charlie today, and you got a new challenge today
to do a cover of a song called Cecilia.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
You know the one, right, Yeah, I know the one Cecilia.
You're breaking ma.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
You know the hardest part, Stace, When we're doing covers
and you're doing your own rendition of it, you're bound
to get some backlash. You know, people lose, People love
the songs, and they're oh man, Charlie, it's either it,
oh man, either justice to the song or you've killed
the song.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
You've ruined it.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
So that's always the toughest part to doing any type
of cover. And I'm sure like most musicians could relate
to this.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Well, the thing is, it depends who sang it originally,
because like say, if you cover Bob Marley's song, people
are you know, pretty protective.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
You know you know who sang it? Do you know
who originally?

Speaker 4 (01:02):
No? Salmon and garf uncle?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Who whose uncle?

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Simon and Garf Bungle they're really really famous.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Oh wow, see, but this's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
But then what version do you know? Like, I don't
know who've.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Seen the version, but I remember as a young kid,
my my aunties and uncle when they you said the
garage parties. I don't know whose version of It's a Lady.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
That you see was it? Probably?

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah? Probably, But like this version that I'm about to do,
it's gonna obviously be reggae, so hopefully, and it's certainly
gonna be a guitar.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Oh okay, because we've got times too. They did a
good vision of as well. They said of look like
Melli Vanilly.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Those guys might have been that era.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yeah, maybe, And so I mean you've done other covers.
What are some other covers you've done? Then?

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Dream it's over? How's that going?

Speaker 3 (01:48):
It's doing really well? Surprisingly in the comments on YouTube,
I think girls getting like butchered. You know, you guy
shouldn't have done that, man, And it's going back to
what you're seeing, Stace. It depends who the artists, and
we all know that crowded houses are. They are a
household name here in New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
They not reggae though a completely different line exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
But you know, people are saying, bro, you guys butchered
this song, but it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
But you know, but doing well in Hawaii, so mahalo. Yeah,
so this challenge tomorrow, let's see how it goes.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Okay, So you've done Don't Dream It's over. Any other
covers you've done.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, we've done.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Baby Baby, Smokey Robinson.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Ah yeah, yeah, it was. It was for a.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Compilation album of motown that we that we were doing,
and then we ended up putting it into one of
our EPs, Moon and Back. We did that as a
cover and we've actually worked on a lot of New
Zealand covers to be honest, and that's yet to come out.
But I'm just looking forward to doing this. And and
one of the songs was inspired by Tim Weird and

(02:56):
Morrison when I heard him sing this is I don't
know what it was. I don't know if it was
a karaoke.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Slipping away and away, oh, slipping away from me.
