I knew that she didn't write it, but like "Twisted", it became a 'Joni' song to me. Same thing with "How Do You Stop". Funny thing though, there are a couple of "You're So Square" covers that use her "toot and talk" line as opposed to the original lyric, so in essence they are TRULY covers of the Joni version. > > By the same token, I was very familiar with Frankie Lymon's version of "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" so I'd never consider any recording of that one in the list. > > Bob > > > From: Ken Evans > To: "joni@smoe.org" > Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2012 12:05 PM > Subject: RE: Retro Covers - Volume 62 > > I'm surprised you're counting you're so square and pork pie hat. Unless its a cover using Joni's lyrics to pork pie, obviously that would count - but there's got to be dozens of covers of both of those that predate Joni doing them. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #315 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send tojoni@smoe.org.
