Description

Explore the rich history and cultural significance of cover songs in popular music through this comprehensive academic work. This Routledge publication examines how artists have reinterpreted and reimagined compositions across genres, from traditional hymns like Amazing Grace to contemporary rock interpretations. The book analyses the "appropriationist" method of musical quotation, tracing its evolution through patriotic anthems, religious music, instrumental Muzak versions, holiday classics, and children's songs. Drawing on extensive research including data from the Second Hand Songs database which catalogues over 40,000 songs with multiple cover versions, this volume explores how novelty and comedy artists such as Weird Al Yankovic have contributed to the rich tapestry of cover music culture. Essential reading for music scholars, students, and enthusiasts seeking to understand how covers shape popular music traditions.
