Happiness is a Warm Gun by Cassie Wilson (a cappella) Happiness is a Warm Gun by Hiroyuki Aoyama (Japan) Happiness is a Warm Gun by Three of Us (Costa Rica) Happiness is a Warm Gun by Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Gasse Boys Band (Quebec) I thought these guys were a special joy to watch. Please also enjoy their And Your Bird Can Sing and You Never Give Me Your Money. Happiness is a Warm Gun by Jonathan Di Renzo Happiness is a Warm Gun by AlmostThereRock Happiness is a Warm Gun by Bohle He brings the most hair metal energy. He’s a Spanish speaker but I failed to figure out exactly where he’s from.

Cassie Wilson is my winner for this round, so for a break, enjoy her vlog about botox. Bonus: Ten Interesting Facts About The Beatles Happiness Is A Warm Gun. Did you know what "donated to the National Trust" means? I thought maybe I did, but I sorta didn’t!

Round 2: Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac

Go Your Own Way by Jadyn Rylee feat. Sina & Andrei Cerbu Go Your Own Way by Dolores O’Riordan (Live on Europe2) Go Your Own Way by Basement...or do they just mean that they’re in a basement? Anyway, this is from the Netherlands, and I appreciate the extra loudness. Go Your Own Way by Demagé (Australia) Is this song a duet? Why not! Go Your Own Way from Glee Go Your Own Way by Soul2Soul A Cappella Go Your Own Way by Shaun Holton and friends (Australia) Go Your Own Way by Mary Spender Go Your Own Way by Couch Choir (578 strangers from 27 countries around the world)

My winner? Dolores O’Riordan, obviously! Bonus: Vocal coach Beth Roars analyzes this performance, says Linsey Buckingham often claimed to use Irish folk singing techniques.

Round 3: Moonage Daydream - David Bowie

Moonage Daydream by The Union Gospel (in NYC subway) Moonage Daydream by Tom Hyatt & Maya McCourt Moonage Daydream by St. Paul & The Broken Bones Moonage Daydream by Laurene Carminatti Moonage Daydream by Futurebirds Moonage Daydream by Coheed and Cambria Moonage Daydream by Milky Edwards & The Chamberlings (previously on Metafilter). 13 years ago, internet sleuths determined that the anachronisms in this video didn’t add up, and it was some kind of a prank. My brief web search indicates that to this day nobody has claimed responsibility.

My winner for round 3 is...(needle drop)...Milky Edwards!
