Description

Explore the deep history of musical appropriation with Play it Again: Cover Songs in Popular Music. Part of the Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series, this Routledge publication examines the widespread practice of artists recording or performing songs written by other composers. This phenomenon is a fundamental part of popular music history. This book provides a detailed look at how songs evolve through different versions. It references data from the Second Hand Songs database, which estimated that there are 40,000 songs with at least one cover version as of 2009. The text covers a wide range of musical forms, including traditional patriotic anthems, religious hymns like Amazing Grace, and instrumental interpretations found in Muzak. Readers will learn about the different ways music is reused, from Christmas classics and children's songs to novelty and comedy collections from parodists like Weird Al Yankovic. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the evolution of rock, folk, and popular music styles.
