Higher flyer: the protege supersedes his mentor
Thank you to all who pulled yourselves out of the post-Christmas torpor long enough to recommend songs about work, the playlist of which is compiled this week by Laura Barton.
This week, your mission is to recommend cover versions that better the original. The Gourds' rendition of Gin and Juice? Johnny Cash's I See a Darkness? Frente's Bizarre Love Triangle, or even the Futureheads' Hounds of Love? Let us celebrate the songs that prove that, like Anakin and Obi-Wan, the protege has grown to be stronger than its mentor. Or something.
As usual, the deadline for submissions is 6pm on Monday. Dorian Lynskey will be back next week.
