About mid-way through I decided my vote wasn't as locked on Cake as I thought. By the time Savage finished singing, she'd won me over. How about that? A vote for Savage please! <br /><br />But I really liked both!!!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362240669287746770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587309093892894426.post-50615006550244393812016-10-04T10:04:53.983-07:002016-10-04T10:04:53.983-07:00I vote for Gaynor.

True, it's a slower song, but I like the way it turned out. The other version was to disjointed for me. Made me think William Shatner was singing it.<br />Yes, please give my vote to Savage.<br />IF you get a chance, please stop by and visit my music battle. :)Jeffrey Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973104877310669196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587309093892894426.post-79879238624153615222016-10-03T18:18:13.632-07:002016-10-03T18:18:13.632-07:00Just For StMcC:

LC, I've heard of Cake before but this must be the first time I've actually heard a recording by them because, believe me, I'd REMEMBER if I'd heard that "singer" before.<br /><br />Honestly, for awhile I thought maybe this was supposed to be a joke. (Truthfully, I'm still not sure it's not.) Is Cake supposed to be a novelty kind of act, or are they meant to be taken seriously?<br /><br />The music is total shit. (What are they, 13 years old and 2 months into their junior high school music lessons?) Actually, the bassist isn't bad, but the rest of it...<br /><br />Worst of all though is that "singer". Flatter than Kris Kristofferson (no lilt to his voice at all), singing in what, 666 different keys? WTH?! One of the worst professional singers I've ever heard. Quite possibly THE worst. He actually makes Dylan and Neil Young sound good! <br /><br />I give all 12 of my deceased-Democrat-person votes to CHANTAY.<br /><br />~ Head-Shakin, Head-Scratchin' D-FensDogGStephen T.

It was a time of exciting musical discovery for me. So many exciting artists came onto the scene, though for me the 80's did come in a not too distant second.<br /><br />If you had pitted Cake's version against Gaynor's my choice would have been very difficult. Between the two artists you gave us to choose from, for me Cake is the easy winner by a long shot. I've always liked their version. Never heard Chantay's version which was okay but it didn't grab me.<br /><br />I vote for Cake.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
