People's Choice: International Covers, Classic Songs

People's Choice: International Covers, Classic Songs

This week's Sound Travels is all about you. Yep, people are pickin the topic that we're playing on the noon-time spot and today we had some interesting choices; Tango, Roots Reggae and International Covers...

...and clearly, the covers got hot and we went with some well-worn tunes that play like the original, but when the lyrics drop, it a language lesson. I always love songs like these, that are different enough that you notice them. A different way to dust off an original, and more than a few in the mix on today's show. Here's what happened...
