"Cry Baby Cry" Cover

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
I am trying to locate a cover of the Beatles classic "Cry Baby Cry". It may not have been performed by an all-female group, but the lead singer(s) were definitely female, and the vocals were either double-tracked or harmonized. I thought it was Siouxsie and the Banshees, but apparently I was mistaken; Throwing Muses' "Cry Baby Cry" proved not to be what I was thinking of, but became one of my favorite songs anyway. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I think it was recorded in the '80s, but I'm not positive. I'm gonna be really embarrassed if it turns out to the Breeders or someone like that. Thanks in advance.

I can't imagine why another cover version of this could possibly be more interesting or better than the 'Muses version, but hell, I'm open to suggestions.

Didn't the Chili Peppers also cover it?

also not the one you're after, but the Ramsey Lewis version is excellent.

The Muses "Cry Baby Cry" is a totally different song. It's an excellent tune in its own right, but it's not a cover.

no they did the beatles tune too.

Thank you! I will track that down. TM was a great fucking band.

Okay okay but wait a minute here...I know it sounds like a totally different song, but that version on the Chains Changed EP was credited to Lennon, McCartney or both, and I know that for a fact.

you are thinking of inner dialogue

Well I see I'm wrong. But I don't understand...

Who's thinking of Inner Dialogue?

― souldesqueeze, Sunday, 18 March 2007 04:26 (nineteen years ago)

well, inner dialogue did cover it. but that's more of a funky thing with fuzz guitar. though there are two chicks singing.

yeah there are two songs by the muses called cry baby cry, an original and the beatles cover. just to condense what's already been said
