Poopot's Cover Challenge #24 - the letter K
Welcome to the 24th Poopot's Cover Challenge
The winner of our last challenge, the nameless Muppet, has spoken to me and chosen the track for the letter
Kwhich is...
....
Killer Queen by QueenThat's right. If that's not your bag, and let's be honest who could blame you for not wanting to try and sing like Freddie, Roger and Brian, then you can record any track starting with the letter K - I know I most definitely will be.
But… if you cover the chosen track you will automatically receive a
bonus 5pts as a head start

I can't stand Queen.
Interesting song choice - I like Queen (mostly Brian May and Freddy's writing) but I find their songs are typically quite hard to cover without doing them as a straight cover if that makes sense. That said, when I did High and Dry a few challenges back that was a pretty straight cover and it did well so perhaps that's a good thing for me...
That makes perfect sense.
It's definitely a big challenge but I believe at least live of us can do it
I’ve learnt most of the guitar parts for mine, but struggling to learn the drum part!

I was going for a Sgt Pepper style thing, so a bit Lucy in the Sky, a bit Day in the Life, then the string section for the bridge, backwards guitar solo, those are more general late 60s stuff. The organ on the verse is a "Lucy" preset but actually reminds me of Cymbaline by Pink Floyd.

I also have a complete backing track for Jolene. I was going to get my wife to sing on it but shelved it due to @idiotwind doing a great version and also her general lack of motivation
FWIW I am hoping to finish Killer (Adamski) this weekend and, if I've time, a metal version of Kill This Love by Blackpink provided I can get my downpicking slick enough. I really should do the latter one is as K-pop for the letter K seems appropriate
