What's your favorite instrumental song?

I remember when this came out and it really reminded me that artist can do different things if they want to. I've loaded this one up and will listen to it as I go to sleep.

Post a cover that's done in a different style than the original version.

I used to listen to a podcast called Coverville and they would frequently have some blue grass covers of different songs. I picked this version because I wrote about the Run-DMC cover and I wanted to highlight how you can do a song in multiple ways.

"Juice" by Lizzo

Listen on Apple Music

A song by a band whose merchandise you've bought - what was the merchandise

I remember buying a t-shirt and feeling a small pang of regret after touching it. The quality of the material wasn't very good.

Share a track that has one of your favorite vocal performances of all-time.

Definitely a lot of range and power with this song. I love it because it feels like the tears about to stream at any point in the song.
