The song is: "Blue moon, I saw you standing alone." Not: "with a small friend."

I think I've sort of made up my mind about that friend-locked entry - thank you everyone who was really helpful and patient and generally awesome at lovely advice-giving. I'm going to go with the risk thing. And see what happens...

The bulk of my exams are overrrrr - just two more that I'm not too bothered about anymore. And then it's off to Suffolk ( Read more... )

I was thinking that maybe the dude from The Wallflowers did some of Bob Dylan's songs, but then I remembered that he, like, doesn't like people talking about how he's his father's son.

I don't know why I told you that, seeing that it doesn't help you in the slightest.

I do, however, know that Inara George covered her dad's song "Trouble" on a tribute album. If you've ever heard of either of them. So that doesn't really help -- I don't think Lowell George counts as a big famous musician, but his daughter is marginally less famous than he is, so I still win.

I'm going to become souper famous now, write a few songs about pain, loss, alcohol, and troubled childhoods or some crap like that, and have one of my offspring cover it to see if it really is as strange as it seems.
I can't help but think that they partly did it to avoid having to write their own songs, or pay for other peoples'. Keeping it in the family and all that. Like the Hasselhoff-haus.

Anyways, I'm sure Nancy Sinatra rode her dad's coat-tails at some point. It may just take some digging around, is all.

I was thinking of Nancy Sinatra too. They did a Duet of Somethin' Stupid, but they released that as an original together.

Ah, then I reckon it doesn't really count.

Well, if that Wallflowers guy did some of his dad's songs, then I don't care whether he likes people talking about it or not, I will have to find them.

And Lowell/Inara George - after wikipediaing them - do count.

And I think you ought to do just that. Write power ballads and suchlike. It'll be BRILLIANT.
