M. Ted...it's the John Lennon cover of Ives a la "Revolution #9" off the White Album.

Wavestar -- yes, seriously. You take Amos' piano intro (that pretty little run around which the whole song is built) and adapt that to guitar (or two, playing in harmony a la Duane Allman and Dickey Betts). Not too hard to do as she plays mostly single notes with little left hand accompaniment. Add bass about the time she starts singing the words,

Greg he writes letters,
And burns his CD's ...

Then you add some power chords at the chorus (ummm...let's see, off the top of my head there's a B and an F# and a C# or maybe C#m...and another one I can't access right now...All nicely adaptable because the key of the song reguires you to play barre chords). You take your cue for the power chords from the cello accompaniment.

The bridge Well what's it gonna take till my baby's all right (E, G, A) is pretty much heavy metal already.

Can you hear it? I plug in and crank up the stereo and play along, and dub in the other parts in my head. The chord pattern lends itself easily to a heavy metal arrangement...most of her songs have an "edge" to them already - they'd be easy material to do crunchy covers of. Maybe it's already been done???

Keeps me off the streets and out of trouble....
