Coming up on this episode of Coverville, it's a double
cover story episode featuring Blackpink. No, I'm going to use
that joke a third time here because yes, this episode is about Jack Black
and Pink, both of whom are celebrating birthdays this week, albeit
10 years apart. But we're going to be hearing from Jack Black
who is turning 55 and Pink, Alicia
Beth Hartmore, just realized Beth Hart is another artist.
She has an artist in the middle of her real name. How wild is that?
And then Pink who is turning 45 in a
couple days. All of this and more coming up right now on Coverville.

Greetings from Coverville.
for a Thursday afternoon. It is Thursday, September 5th, 2024. My name is Brian Ibbitt.
Welcome to another edition of Coverville, episode 1,502 today. Wow, crazy. This is a
double cover story episode. Later on, we're going to be hearing music covers of and by
Jack Black, as well as Tenacious D. Of course, you can't have a Jack Black cover story segment
without a little bit of Tenacious D in there. That's going to be coming up later in the
show, but first we're going to get to Alicia Beth Hart Moore. That's going to make it real
easy to remember from now on. Like somebody says, hey, do you know Pink's real name? All
you have to do is remember Alicia Moore, but then stick the singer Beth Hart in the middle
of it. Too bad there's no Beth Hart covers of Pink, or are they? I'll have to do some
digging around. Yeah, Pink, incredibly powerful vocalist. Just an amazing performer as far
as her...
What is the word? Charisma. Boy, okay, she's got the riz, as the kids say these days, and
maybe the last time I ever say that phrase. You'll find that with a lot of the covers
of her that they have a hard time capturing that. I had a hard time finding covers for
this episode because there are a lot of covers by people who do covers on YouTube for a living,
right? Whose job it is to just sound like...
The original. So you'll find a few acoustic versions of songs, but they work really well
with Pink because it kind of showcases the incredible songwriting that Pink has for her
music as well. Let's get to it. Let's start things off with a cover of Blow Me One Last
Kiss. This is by Jake Coco featuring Caitlin Hart. We're going to hear a little bit more
from Caitlin Hart later on in the show, but this is from Jake Coco's album Under the Covers
Volume 4. Clever title.
From 2012. Here is Blow Me One Last Kiss.
Eyes on fire, eyes on fire, and they burn from the tears. I've been crying, I've been
crying, I've been dying over you. Tie a knot in the rope, trying to hold, trying to hold,
but there's nothing to grab, so I let go. I think I finally had enough. I think I maybe
think too much. I think this might be it, but I don't need one last kiss. You think
I'm just too serious. I think you're full of shit.
Better spin yourself. Blow me one last kiss. Just let it get worse. I've had a shit day.
You've had a shit day. We've had a shit day. I think that life's too short for this. Won't
beg my ignorance and bliss. I think I've had enough of this. Blow me one last kiss.
Mm-hmm.
I won't miss.
All of the fire.
So take it in. We always did now. So take it out. I mean what I'll say when I say there's
nothing left.
No more sick whiskey dick. No more battles for me. You'll be cold and a trick cuz you'll
no longer sleep. I'll just blast. I'll look good. I'll go dancing along. I will laugh.
I'll get drunk. I'll take somebody home.
I think I finally had enough.
I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us
Lonely woman, last kiss
You think I'm just too serious
I think you're full of shit
My head is spinning so
Lonely woman, last kiss
Just when it can't get worse
I've had a shit day
You've had a shit day
We've had a shit day
Nothing that lasts is sure for this
Won't back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this
Lonely woman, last kiss
Just lonely woman, last kiss
I will do what I please
Anything that I want
I will breathe, I will breathe
I will worry it all
You will pay for your sins
You'll be sorry, my dear
All the lies, all the lies
Will be all crystal clear
I think I finally had enough
I think I made you think too much
I think this might be it for us
Only one last kiss
You think I'm just too serious
I think you're full of shit
My head is spinning so
Only one last kiss
Just when you can't get away
Cause I've had a shit day
You've had a shit day
We've had a shit day
I think that life's too short for this
Won't back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this
Only one last kiss
Just when you can't get away
Cause I've had a shit day
You've had a shit day
We've had a shit day
Nothing that lasts too short for this
Won't back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this
Only one last kiss

Oh no
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too fool
Oh no, no, no
I wish I could touch you again

They knew better
Still you said

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
Ah
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse peers
And people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift by the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
Ah
Lucky you, that's the girl I love
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
a couple uh beatles bits there at the end of that set lucy in the sky with diamonds that is a
performance by the beat bugs yeah the beat bugs this thing that um showed up on netflix in 2016
animated series about a bunch of bugs but the soundtrack was all beatles covers and some of
them a lot of them were great were excellent they did a weird thing where they changed the lyrics on
some of them uh usually you know to avoid drug references and things like that kind of surprising
that lucy in the sky with diamonds slipped past all that but hey you know that's cool uh vocals
on that one provided by pink as you probably guessed because of its placement in the show
uh get the party started that's by a group called the re beatles project yes the re
beatles project they do covers of modern pop songs in the style of the beatles that was
very much love me do but get the party started that one from their 2010 album get back i want
more albums by the re beatles project i think it's fascinating what an incredible way to to do
a cover album shannon and keist with a cover of who knew that one from a 2019 album very
cleverly titled acoustic covers pop songs i can't make this up uh we're gonna find a lot of those
by the way in today's episode uh lena hall with a cover of just like a pill she released an entire
ep in 2018 called obsessed pink she's actually released a bunch of these eps uh called obsessed
where she covers four or five songs by an artist she did uh radiohead um oh i can't remember who
else i saw but she she apparently has done this a lot she's done this a lot she's done this a lot
and she does a great job that just like a pill cover is is great and we start things off with
jake coco and caitlin hart doing a cover of blow me one last kiss that one from jake coco's album
under the covers volume four and serves as a great reminder that if you're doing a pink and
jack black show you probably want to let people know that there might be some salty language
in the episode so here's your warning you're not safe for work warning that
maybe don't play the rest of the episode in front of the kids or
at full volume
at work let's uh let's tell you about the sponsor for today's episode before we go any further
today's episode is brought to you by better help uh what's something that you would love to learn
we we're adults for the most part um we love to learn new things do you make time to learn
new things as often as you'd like or was that lost in childhood um you know kids are always
learning as they grow they're learning new things and new techniques and new things and new things
and learning from all their different their different inputs their their parents their school
their friends etc what's something that you would like to learn gardening a new language maybe how
to finally beat your best friend in bowling well therapy can actually help you reconnect with your
sense of wonder because your back to school era can come at any age it's not just for kids um you
know with the episode being about pink and jack black especially with that not safe for work
message one of the the words that i'm going to be using today is i'm going to be using the word
we shouldn't treat as a dirty word anymore is therapy therapy is not a dirty word it's not a
four-letter word it's not taboo um it's it's part of life now and it's something that with all of
these different things that we're getting as inputs social media um uh stress from work from
family from all different locations political stuff that's going on we we're faced with a lot
of things that can really really um mess with our minds and and and
well therapy is there to untangle you and um happy to say that i've tried better help myself i really
really like the onboarding process um you basically go through and answer a little questionnaire about
um about things that maybe you didn't come to the better help website to answer but that will
help target you with the right person with the right therapist to help you um questions about
how's your sleep going do you feel like you're sleeping well
about your eating habits, financial, blah, blah, blah, you know, specifics, but just enough to
help match you up with somebody who's kind of a specialist in your needs and your specific
area influences. Let's say that. Listen, if you're thinking about starting therapy,
give BetterHelp a try. It's entirely online. It's designed to be convenient, flexible,

Let's get to the next set of music. If I needed to issue the Not Safe for Work warning before,
I definitely need to for a couple of the songs in this set. Not necessarily this first one,
though. This was, I believe, Pink and Nate Ruiz, I believe, did the original version of this one,
if I remember correctly.
The song is Just Give Me a Reason. This cover is by Uncle Jed from an album in 2013 called
Acoustic Versions. And it is fantastic. This is such a beautiful song and probably the most
covered song in the Pink Library. Here is Just Give Me a Reason by Uncle Jed.
I let you see the parts of me that weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fix them
Now you've been talking in your sleep
Things you'd never say to me
Tell me have you had enough
Of our love
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second
We're not broken
Just bent
And we can't lie to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written
In the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken
Just bent
And we can't lie to love again
Just give me a reason
Just to love again
A tear-dark skin rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust
Put our loves in love
You're holding it in
I'm pouring a drink
Knowing nothing is as bad
As it seems
With a sad voice
We'll come clean
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second
We're not broken, just bad
And we can learn to love again
We can learn to love again
We're not broken, just bad
And we can learn to love again
We can learn to love again
Yeah
Made a wrong turn
Once or twice
Dug my way out
Blood and fire
Bad decisions
That's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Missed, no way, it's all good
It didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second-guessing
Underestimated, look I'm still around
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than
Fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You're fucking perfect to me
You're so mean
When you talk
About yourself
You were wrong
Change the voices
In your head
Make them like you
Instead
So wrong
So complicated
Look happy or make it
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough
I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than
Fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You're fucking perfect to me
Fucking perfect to me
You're perfect to me

Ever wonder about what she's doing
How it all turned to lies
Sometimes I think that it's better
To never ask why
Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame
And where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Try, try, try
It's funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy
Even when it's not right
Woah, woah, woah
And where there is desire there is gonna be a flame
And where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Try, try, you've got to get up and try, try, try.
Never worry that it might be ruined.
It doesn't make you want to cry.
When you're out there doing what you're doing,
are you just getting by?
Tell me, are you just getting by, by, by?
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame.
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned.
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die.
You've got to get up and try, try, try.
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame.
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned.
But just because it burns
You've gotta get up and try, try, try You've gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Yeah
Baby, baby, I'm gonna leave
I said, baby
You know that I'm gonna leave
I'll leave you when the summer's high
Leave you when the summer comes on
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, I don't wanna leave you
I ain't joking, woman
I've got to ramble
Ooh, yeah
Baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I didn't give you that
I really got to ramble
Ooh, yeah
I can hear it calling me
The way it used to do
Ooh, yeah
I can hear it calling me back
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh my, oh my, I know, I know
I know it's good to have you back again
And I know that one day, baby
It's really gonna go easy
We're gonna go walking through the dark every day
Hey, hear what I say
Every day, my, my, my
guitar solo
Oh, how great is that cover?
That is Pink, of course.
Funhouse Tour live in Austin.
Australia.
Oh, there's a little more.
That's nice.
Absolutely lovely version there.
Of Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You, originally by Led Zeppelin.
Covered there by Pink.
Again, Funhouse Tour live in Australia is where you'll find that one.
Before That, Try by Mallory Knox.
That one from the BBC Radio Live Lounge 2013 album.
From that great series.
God, we haven't gotten a new one of those in a while, too.
We need one of those.
It's been a while.
Raise Your Glass by Charisma Dua
from the appropriately titled
acoustic covers of popular songs.
Can't get enough of those albums
that are so perfectly titled
for whatever that is they are.
Thank goodness for that, right?
We want more of those.
And fucking perfect.
I'm just going to say it.
That's the name of the song.
Caitlin Hart from her album Cover Stories from 2011
is where she put that one.
Look, I gave you guys the NSFW warning.
So it's on you, hearing me drop that F-bomb.
Uncle Jed at the top of that set with a cover of
Just Give Me a Reason.
That one from the 2013 album Acoustic Versions EP.
Happy birthday going out.
To Alicia Beth Hart Moore,
also known as Pink,
in just a couple days.
I think on the 8th of September
is Pink's actual birthday.
Someone who celebrated a birthday
at the end of August
is a guy named Jack Black.
And he turned 55.
Unlike Pink, who turned 45,
Jack Black turned 55.
And, excuse me,
so we're going to celebrate him as well.
This is,
this is an acapella cover
of maybe the most famous
Tenacious D song ever released.
And it's appropriate because
it's the best rock and roll song in the world.
Here are the Pitchforks
with a cover of Tribute
from their album Bring It Back.
This is the greatest,
and best song in the world.
Tribute.
A long time ago,
me and my brother Ben here,
we was hitchhiking down a long,
lonesome road.
When all of a sudden,
there shined a shiny demon
in the middle of the road.
And he said,
play the best song in the world
around each yourself.
Well, me and Ben,
we looked at each other,
and we each said,
okay.
And we played the first thing
that came to our heads,
just so happened to be
the best song in the world.
It was the best song in the world.
Look into my eyes,
and it's easy to see,
one and one make two,
two and one make three,
was destiny.
Once every hundred thousand years or so,
when the sun don't shine,
and the moon don't glow,
when the grass don't grow.
Well, needless to say,
the beast was stunned.
Crack with a swift tear,
and the beast was done.
Yeah.
He asked us,
are we here with any channels?
And we said nay!
We all put men right!
Ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
This is not the greatest song in the world, no.
This is just the truth.
I couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, no.
No, this is true.
To the greatest song in the world, all right.
This is just the best one of us.
I'm the greatest song in the world, all right.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
The clear thing is this, my friends.
That song we sang on that fateful night
didn't actually sound anything like this song!
This is just a tribute.
You gotta believe.
And I wish you were there
Just a matter of a big night
Good God, and God love him
I'm so surprised, surprised you can't stop him
Good God, and I love him a lot
All right
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ready
Thank you.
So, while the contestants are backstage
preparing for the next number,
I would like to attempt to entertain you with a song.
It's one of my favorites, Beautiful Dreamer.
Enjoy.
Beautiful dreamer
Wake unto thee
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day
Lulled by the moonlight have all passed away
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song
List while I woo thee with soft melody
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng
Beautiful dreamer, awake to my song
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me
Beautiful dreamer
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me
Thank you.
This one is for my one and only true love, Princess Peach
Peach, you're so beautiful
peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, I love you. Mario, Luigi, and Donkey Kong too. A thousand
super goopers couldn't get me from you. Princess Peach, at the end of the line, I'll make you mine.
Oh, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches,
I love you. Oh, peaches, peaches, peaches, yeah.
Julian Villard,
from an album, probably with one of the best titles of an album I've ever heard,
Julian Villard Sings the Algorithm, Volume 3. In other words, here are songs that people will be
searching for and will help find my music. If that's not the case, Julian Villard, that's
brilliant anyway. Julian Villard and his cover of Peach is, of course, a song that Jack Black
contributed to the Super Mario Brothers movie as Bowser. Great, great cover right there by
Julian Villard. Jack Black himself with a cover of Beautiful Dreamer. That one is from a soundtrack
to a film called Bernie. There's a few covers on there sung by Jack Black, but that one I felt like
really showcased what an incredible voice Jack Black really has. He belts it out and he can
really, you know, he can sing a song loud, but when you give him the opportunity to sing a song
quietly, you can really tell that he's got the chops. Jack Black with a cover of Stephen Foster
is Beautiful Dreamer from the soundtrack to the 2012 film Bernie. Dave Kirsten, I'm sorry,
Greg Kirsten and Dave Grohl, every year they do this thing called the Hanukkah Sessions.
It used to be just a YouTube thing where they would, every day for 12 days,
nine days, I'm sorry, Hanukkah, for nine days, they would do covers of songs by artists that had
either a Jewish person,
a Jewish person in the lineup or Jewish solo performers or whatever. And for this one in 2022,
they did The Spirit of Radio, a song by Rush, covered there with Jack Black on vocals.
This is such a pairing that I absolutely love, Greg Kirsten and Dave Grohl. I've said it before
many, many times, but Greg Kirsten is my favorite music producer of all time. I think the stuff that
he did with Lily Allen, the stuff he did with Tegan and Sarah, the stuff he did with the Birdie
and the Bee. He is the bee, by the way, in The Bird and the Bee. And he's one half of Gegita,
or at least the namesake of Gegita. I mean, he's the member of Gegita. And it was because his
little brother or something couldn't pronounce Greg, so called him Gegi, Gegita. Anyway,
Greg Kirsten, right now for me, can do no wrong. And I will happily pick up an album if I know
it's produced by Greg Kirsten before I even give one.
Listen to any of the tracks on it. The Spirit of Radio by Rush, covered there by Greg Kirsten,
Dave Grohl, and Jack Black. And then we started things off with an a cappella group,
Duke's Pitchforks, the Pitchforks of Duke University, a cappella cover of tribute
from the 2006 album Bring It Back, originally by Tenacious D. And with that, we are going to be
bringing it back, well, to the end of the show. That is going to do it for this edition of
Coverville. Thank you so much for tuning in. Hope you enjoyed it.
Enjoy the music today. We'll be back tomorrow morning with a Guess the Connection. I've got
one all ready and queued up to go. And I'm happy to say that we're finally going to be giving away
the prizes that we've been trying to give away for several weeks. So the winner will finally
get those, and I'll be able to start a new prize package tomorrow morning. So stick around for
that. That'll be at twitch.tv slash coverville at 9 a.m. Mountain Time. Again, twitch.tv slash
coverville for your chance to win.
That's going to do it. Until then, until next time, this is Brian Emmett saying that just about
covers it for tonight. Thanks for listening. We'll see you next time. Bye-bye.
