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

So you better get this party started

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

Right, right, turn off the lights

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.
