Most people don't believe me when I tell them that (a) Barbra Streisand covered David Bowie's Life on Mars?; and especially not when I tell them that (b) she did it on an album from 1974 called Butterfly, with the utterly enchanting cover-image of a fly sitting on a block of butter.Barbra Streisand - Life on Mars (right-click and Save As to download)
Trust me. It's worth it just to hear her 'emote' the nonsense^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H lines "it's on America's tortured brow / that Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow". Also the BIIIIIG modulation down to a minor 7th, and the subsequent HUUUUUGE Broadway ending, is quite good too.
