Adam Levine Cheap Trick's "Voices" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo71pQxvAvc REASON: One of my favorite songs from the trilogy of videos Cheap Trick made for their DREAM POLICE album. I had suggested "Way Of The World", my favorite song within the trilogy, before and I await for the chance again to suggest it.
Michael Shannon El Vez's "En El Barrio" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0_tGKvxd9I REASON: This is a cover of Elvis Presley's "In The Ghetto" but with a Spanish twist. The song is done by a Mexican Elvis interpreter who goes by the name of El Vez, who is actually Robert Lopez of the L.A. punk band The Zeros. He has been El Vez for years and Nardwuar knows him very well. If you do cover this, I look forward to hearing the lyric: "so he joins a gang okay, if there's one thing that he can't stand it's that he has to join a mariachi band en el barrio"
This is, of course, for Shannon being in ELVIS & NIXON.
