You call me a dog

  1. Hey everyone.

    It's been a while since I posted a new entry here, but I've actually posted many new videos since the last one on my youtube channel, just been too lazy to post them here.

    Check them out if you want.

    My channel is here.

    Some of the new videos you'll find there:

    Use Somebody - Kings of Leon
    Fell on Black Days - Soundgarden (An updated version)
    A full live version of Troubled Child
    Another song I wrote called Honeybee

    But the video I'm going to share with you right now is actually a cover of one of my favorite groups. A supergroup before any of the members were super:
    Temple of the Dog (Essentially Pearl Jam with Chris Cornell on lead vocals- how could that possibly go wrong?)

    Temple of the Dog - Call Me A Dog

    The song is actually kind of depressing, but it's blues so step off! Here are the lyrics if you'd like to follow along (note: the original is about 1,000 times better, but god damn it- I tried!)

    Call Me A Dog - Temple of the Dog

    You call me a dog. Well that's fair enough
    It aint no use to pretend you're wrong
    When you call me out, I can't hide anymore
    I got no disguise you can't see through

    You say it's bad luck to have fallen for me
    Well what can I do to make it good for you?
    You wore me out like an old winter coat
    Trying to be safe from the cold

    Yeah, but when it's my time to throw the next stone
    I call you beautiful if I call at all
    You call me a dog

    You tell me I'm low 'cause I slept on the floor
    Out in the woods with the badgers and wolves
    You threw me out 'cause I went diggin' for gold
    And I came home with a hand full of coal

    Yeah, but when it's my time to throw the next stone
    I call you beautiful if I call at all
    And when it's my time to call your bluff
    I call you beautiful if I call at all
    You call me a dog
    That's fair enough
    It doesn't bother me as long as you know
    Bad luck will follow you
    If you keep me on a leash and you drag me along

    Yeah, but when it's my time to throw the next stone
    I call you beautiful if I call at all
    Yeah, but when it's my time to call your bluff
    I call you beautiful if I call at all
    Yeah, you call me a dog

    The KoL song is the only I recognize so great cover! I don't know the others but they all sounded pretty boss. Kudos and luck man.

    Thanks Pallas. You probably wouldn't know Honeybee or Troubled Child since I wrote them. ;)
