Your Friday Video Link: Cover Story with the Cranberries and the Dum Dum Girls



This week's edition of Your Friday Video Link features a couple of songs that are in heavy rotation on my song list.

How have I gone 27 years without knowing this kick ass performance existed?

From a show in Paris in 1999, the Cranberries cover Fleetwood Mac's "You Can Go Your Own Way".


It's sadder than sad that Dolores O'Riordan is no longer with us.

Next up is the Dum Dum Girls who have my attentiion when I'm not listening to Metric.

"There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" was originally performed by Smiths, written by their guitarist Johnny Marr and lead vocalist Morrissey.

But the version I discovered first and still like the best is by the Dum Dum Girls.

They did not shoot a video for this song so here's a lyric video.

There are some really weird lyrics in this song about how nice it would be to be killed by a truck or a bus, as long as you're with the one you love.


And that is that for this week's Your Friday Video Link.

Tomorrow, we're back with Movie Time. With Tom Hanks back in theaters as Woody in Toy Story 5, it seems like a good time to look back at a forgotten Tom Hanks classic where he plays a 1930's gangster.

And we're back on Sunday with more Star Trek stuff.

Until next time, remember to be good to one another.
