You have to give the Under The Cover guys some credit for
coming up with those "artist" names. Some of those
singles even managed to make the Billboard charts!]]> Fri, 24 May 2019 03:50:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=479&PID=52019&title=sixpence--kiss-me#52019 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=479&PID=52008&title=sixpence--kiss-me#52008 Author: Hykker

Sounds like a latter-day version of "Hit" records, a 60s
era label that put out cover versions of semi-current
hits.

Around that same time frame the station I was at had a
Saturday night mix show, we got monthly discs of dance
mixes of current hits from several sources. Nothing we
specifically subscribed to, they just started showing up.
Some were legit remixes by the correct artists, other
were covers. Most of the covers were quite good, and had
singers that sounded a lot like the original artists. I
wish I could remember the names of these (probably long
defunct) services..."On The Radio" or something similar
comes to mind as one.

There was an entire label dedicated to putting out knock-off versions of the late-'90s radio hits that weren't available as commercial CD singles: Under The Cover Records

Here's a partial list of CD singles they released from 1997-1999:

Lovefool - Casual Sweaters
One Headlight - Waterfalls
Butterfly Kisses - Carousel
Fly - Sweet Rain
Walkin' On The Sun - Smack
Tubthumping - Chucklebutt
All My Life - Krazi & Judo
Torn - Natural Innocence
Closing Time - SoKaotic
Be Careful - UC All Stars
Iris - Granny's Goodies
Flagpole Sitta - Hairy Canary
Save Tonight - Dancin' Zzzz
Why Don't You Get A Job? - Octagon Ozzie
Steal My Sunshine - Lint

The goal was to get these singles placed in stores in roughly the same part of the alphabet that one would expect to find the hit version, if the hit version were available as a CD single.

They were uniformly terrible. All the music was done by a guy named Adam Marano (I assume that's his real name).

It's been 20 years since the demise of Under The Cover Records; I think I need to dust these off and feature them all on the radio show. Maybe for pledge drive...]]> Thu, 23 May 2019 07:09:23 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=479&PID=52006&title=sixpence--kiss-me#52006 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=479&PID=52005&title=sixpence--kiss-me#52005 Author: PopArchivist

Deja Vu also covered "My Heart Will Go On," "Un-break My Heart," "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," and "Don't Speak," among others.

"Kiss Me (Lenny B.'s Radio Edit)" is track 1 on a 1999 CD single by Terri Lawrence on Navigate Records.

It's not by Sixpence None The Richer.]]> Wed, 22 May 2019 11:59:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=479&PID=52000&title=sixpence--kiss-me#52000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=479&PID=51999&title=sixpence--kiss-me#51999 Author: aaronk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVDUxuZyOUc "Walkin' On The Sun" by Chorus. Clearly meant to mimic Smash Mouth as closely as possible but with a dance beat.

https://www.discogs.com/Smack-Walkin-On-The-Sun-Pop-Club-Mix es/release/661997
This cover of "Walkin' On The Sun" is credited to Smack, again, possibly hoping to confuse consumers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i7NT97IXsM "Crush" by Bianca from 1998, which is a house version cover of the Jennifer Paige song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO3tbEf_tz0 "Uninvited" by Deja Vu was an Alanis imitator that I'm positive I saw on the shelves at my local record store.

There were just SO many dance covers out at this time!]]> Wed, 22 May 2019 11:53:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=479&PID=51999&title=sixpence--kiss-me#51999
