This has to be heard to be believed. Courtesy of Dan over at Country Universe, the Oak Ridge Boys (you know…”Elvira”?) appear to have followed in the footsteps of Johnny Cash by covering an alternative classic. Rather than Nine Inch Nails, they opt for the White Stripes classic “Seven Nations Army”. Check out the original if you’re not familiar (shame on you!), and then the Oak Ridge Boys’ cover.
The fact that I have referenced the Oak Ridge Boys and the White Stripes in the same entry is surely a sign of the apocalypse. However, I really like the cover. Now, if I didn’t know the original, I’m sure I would despise this version, but it works. Look for the Oak Ridge Boys single on Tuesday, and the full length drops on the 19th.

LOL.. yep, watch out for the Pale Horse!
I can’t… I just can’t. I tried to appreciate it for what it was, then I lost all hope on the last verse.
I’m not sure what’s worse, this or Everlasts’ cover of Folsom Prison Blues:
Ha! That’s hilarious. I’m a little embarassed to admit that I listened to the White Stripes clip for about 30 seconds before I realized you’d put the Oak Ridge Boys below it. I was thinking “this doesn’t sound any different.”
Yuri, you’re a profound man.
JK, the Boys win hands down. Sorry to have scarred you.
ww_adh, it happens to the best of us.
