    9. Share a link to a cover song with an unusual instrument!

      A bit over a week ago, I posted share a link to a happy song and it seemed like fun, so how about we play again?

      The “iron chef” ingredient this time is that it should be a cover song with an unusual instrument. (How you interpret that is up to you.)

      Ground rules:

      • One song per comment, so we can vote for them individually.
      • One top-level comment per user, so pick your favorite song.
      • If you want to post more than one song, reply to yourself to add more comments.

    48. My current favourite song: 'Rhapsody in Blue' arranged by Walter Murphy

      I discovered (or "discocovered") this song after reading a comment in the April Fool's thread about Spotify changing its "discover weekly" feature into "discocover weekly". The commenter mentioned "a disco cover of 'Rhapsody In Blue'", which checks two of my boxes:

      • 'Rhapsody in Blue' is in my all-time Top Three instrumental/orchestral pieces of music.

      • Disco (real disco, from back in the '70s) is one of my favourite genres.

      Mashing these two things together just has to be good. And, sure enough, it is! This track is, in equal parts, inspired and cheesy. I can't listen to it without finding myself bopping along. It makes me happy.

      I bought the track within 15 minutes of reading that comment, have added it to my "Orchestral" and my "Disco" playlists, and am making excuses to listen to it as often as I can.

      Actually, there were a few disco versions of classical songs made in the 1970s. It seems to have been a minor fad back then - and I realised, when buying this track, that I also have Murphy's track 'A Fifth of Beethoven', plus 'Night on Disco Mountain' by David Shire. I really enjoy this combination of funky disco and classical music.

      And I love this song! :)
