Sometimes I love a good stripped-down reinterpretation of a song, they can be excellent.
Sometimes I don't. I put the unplugged performances of Eric Clapton, Alice In Chains and especially Nirvana under the 'no thanks' category personally, despite millions who love them.

Interpolates Tom Tom Club "Genius Of Love"
Mariah Carey's Fantasy is one of more than 150 songs that have sampled Genius Of Love – and it's the only one that was a number-one hit. Speaking of "one,," here is One by Busta Rhymes (Trevor George Smith Jr.) and Erykah Badu. This appears on Busta Rhymes' 1997 album When Disaster Strikes and was released as a single in July 1998 but failed to chart in the United States. It samples the lyrics of Genius Of Love. "What you gonna do when you get out of jail? I'm gonna have some fun" becomes "What I'm gon' do with Erykah Badu, I'm gonna have some fun."

21 24 Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffany’s - Haha! Mrs. Scotch and I have been doing Saturday night trivia at the Shipyard brewpub, and we had to identify this song. We got the title, but all we could remember for the artist was "Blue". If only I had seen this first!
02 02 Coolio ft. L.V. - Gangsta’s Paradise - For years I liked this song, but didn't know why it was so instantly appealing. Much more recently I realized it's a rip-off of a song from one of Stevie Wonder's great albums (which I have).

Iknowrite? And a generally consistent selection.
I prolly wouldn’t even had Blue. If they asked what song did DBS do, I would have had it.
I was surprised for just a second when I learned that.

I found I liked "Gansta's Paradise" after hearing "Amish Paradise".
