[southernleftylady]

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. Didn't know anyone had done a cover of it

[southernleftylady]

2. well shinedown did .. ugh this is going to bug me nt

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. Is it something playing on rock or country stations?

[southernleftylady]

5. It was slow so it prob on both but on the "soft rock" kinda channels

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. Has Google helped at all?

[southernleftylady]

8. none and I KNOW I heard it because I was SO happy that a woman covered it nt

[southpaw]

7. The Shinedown cover was horrid!

Talk about a singer with no concept of subtlety.

Total dreck.

13. Odd. I loved the cover of it. Not as good as the original, but interesting.

Then again, my sense of subtlety is stronger in the written word than the lyrical note.

4. Bad Company?

Don't know how many songs are called "Simple Man"
because titles cannot be copyrighted.

[astral]

9. Is it this "Simple Man"

I am a simple man
and I sing a simple song
never been so much in love
and never hurt so bad at the same time



Just wanna hold you
I don't wanna hold you down
I hear what yu're saying and it's spinning my head around
but I can make it alone

10. No its not its this one..

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... dont live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and youll find love,
And dont forget son,
There is someone up above.

(chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Wont you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich mans gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(chorus)

Boy, dont you worry... youll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(chorus)

12. I think that's Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I'm pretty sure, anyway. On edit, yep, I went and googled it. It's a Lynyrd Skynyrd song :) http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/lynyrd+skynyrd/simple+man_20086106.html If you google it, some youtube videos will come up, too. Edit again, I see you meant the woman who did the song. Sorry. I have no clue.

11. Wow, there're hundreds. What radio station did you hear it on, and when(approx)?

[jobycom]

14. I don't know, but I can think of two other songs where a female artist did that.

Alison Kraus's "When you say nothing at all" makes it about her child in the video, at least, and Sheryl Crow seems to be doing that in "Sweet Child of Mine."

Funny how many people on this thread either don't understand the meaning of "cover" or "woman," or both. :rofl:

[Pithlet]

17. Ha. Funny. n/t

[Schema Thing]

15. Sarah Palin?

I know I'm going straight to hell for that one.
