  • The Laptop Sessions: “Take Your Mama” (Scissor Sisters Acoustic Rock Cover Song)

    Sunday, June 8th, 2008

    By Jim Fusco:

    Welcome, welcome to another Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! edition of the Laptop Sessions with me, Jim Fusco!

    Yes, yet another new band to the series tonight: Scissor Sisters!

    We’re very happy to add this band to the Sessions because I’m not into too many newer bands, and I finally get a chance to get a shot at a newer band.

    This band is very interesting to me- some of their songs, like “Mary”, are so amazing. But then, you get other songs that are so crazy techno that I can’t get into them.

    But this song single-handedly got me into the Scissor Sisters and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to do a cover song from them.

    Stay tuned- many new bands to come in the next few weeks and make sure to come back tomorrow y’all for another great acoustic cover song from Chris Moore and the Laptop Sessions!

     



Scissor Sisters Acoustic Cover Songs

Perhaps one of the most enigmatic bands currently recording new music is known as the Scissor Sisters. Their new music is labeled as “disco, glam rock, pop, and club scene” by Wikipedia. Added to this list should be acoustic guitar music and piano music, as evidenced by some of the best tracks from their self-titled 2004 album, such as “Mary.” The songwriting of this band varies so widely as to never be predictable – they have released new music that would not sound out of place on the dance floor of a night club, and yet they have also released new music that would best be categorized as unplugged or as new rock music. Fans of the Scissor Sisters need to be receptive to these styles, as their albums explore the breadth and depth of alternative music, such as it is. Their single “Take Your Mama” has been a featured acoustic cover song by songwriter Jim Fusco at the Laptop Sessions video blog, searchable as one of many YouTube videos or under the free videos at http://LaptopSessions.com.
