Bright Eyes - Papa Was a Rodeo
Conor Oberst and co. takes this classic Stephin Merritt tune for a spin, as featured in "Score! 20 Years of Merge Records: The Covers!". Original song by The Magnetic Fields, as if you didn't know that already
Lyrics:
I like your twisted point of view, Mike
I like your questioning eyebrows
You've made it pretty clear what you like
It's only fair to tell you now
that I leave early in the morning
and I won't be back till next year
I see that kiss-me pucker forming
but maybe you should plug it with a beer, cause
Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band
I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand
Home was anywhere with diesel gas - Love was a trucker's hand
Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand
Before you kiss me you should know
Papa was a rodeo
The light reflecting off the mirror ball
looks like a thousand swirling eyes
They make me think I shouldn't be here at all
You know, every minute someone dies
What are we doing in this dive bar
How can you live in a place like this
Why don't you just get into my car
and I'll take you away I'll take that kiss now, but
Papa was a rodeo...
And now it's 55 years later
We've had the romance of the century
After all these years wrestling gators
I still feel like crying when I think of what you said to me
(boy) Papa was a rodeo...
Before you kiss me you should know - Papa was a rodeo
What a coincidence, your Papa was a rodeo too
Lyrics:

Love this cover, it’s pop and the ending is bitter sweet. Excellent. Furthermore, the magnetic fields did this song with soul, no one can deny the song that.
Breathe of Life! No kiss of death!
Better than the original
I appreciate the sentiment. But no. I hope yr doing well btw. I think you're a pretty good person.
what id say if i was kidnapped
not *better*, in my opinion (no cover of any of the 69 love songs can top the soul put into the original, from where i'm standing) - but certainly still very sweet & catchy. wouldn't put it down by any means.
Marge and Val here
rad
The original is my favorite song of all time and usually, I dislike covers of classic songs, but I gotta say that this cover is pretty damn good! 8/10/

It's a sin that this is not on spotify.
That's how I arrived here as well.
Same!!!!
It’s why I’m here lol
I love the koopa troopa beach vibes
thers one down thumb? are you even human? this song kicks. the original is terrible in comparison oh boy Conor you make it all better
Adam Runk Hey, calm down. The original song is awesome. Not "terrible" by any standarts. And this one is a great cover.
Carlos Mazza this cover puts me in a good mood and it's rare Conor does a cover not originally done by rylo Kylie or Elliot Smith or even Paul Simon but this digs deep. loves it thanks
No. Not even close man. This is an over busy watered down pale comparison of the original. Bright eyes is so over rated as is oberst. If i find myself needing some music to feel for myself to then I'll torture myself for about 10 seconds of it. Before you kiss me you should know... this version blows.
Love the magnetic fields, but do prefer this version. BUT, the #1 rule of music criticism is never put down an original song to praise a cover. I mean, you can break the rule, but you shouldn't.
@@jimmyjones2896 I don't like the original.
