And now you've got me started on weird-ass Mariachi and Norteno covers of 80's pop songs.

I still like the Beatles version better.
Absolutely good call. I love Ringo’s version of this. This cover song is too Woodstock/The Wonder Years theme songish lol

I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
Keep everything in the farm yard upset in every way
The dogs begin to bark and hounds begin to howl
Dogs begin to bark and hounds begin to howl
Watch out strange cat people
Little red rooster's on the prowl
If you see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
If you see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
I had no peace in the farm yard
Since my little red rooster's been gone

And on the theme of Smokey covers, Linda Ronstadt...

About Linda RONSTADT, IMHO, she was such an underrated singer with a beautiful voice. Some of her solo albums were terrific. She recorded an album singing all songs in Spanish and although I can't understand the language, the songs were amazing. She recorded a song that goes back to the big band era called WHAT'S NEW originally recorded by the Nelson Riddle and her voice was beautiful. Too bad that she was inflicted with Parkinson's disease and had to retire. I miss her.
