I always thought Elton John\u2019s \u201cTake Me To The Pilot\u201d would really kick ass and I felt a self-satisfied sort of delight when finally seeing her sing it with the Pointer Sisters on a re-run of her mid-70s Cher Show. However, in my fantasy it was a Sonny &amp; Cher cover for some reason. I could see them arm in arm, rocking to the chorus: \u201cTake me to the pilot; lead me to the chamber. Take me to the pilot; I am but a stranger. Na na na. Na na na!\u201d (See picture to the right.) <\/p>\n<p>I feel the same way about the song \u201cBest Imitation of Myself\u201d by Ben Folds Five. Not only does the song rock hardy, but Ben Folds\u2019 lyrics seem truly written about Cher, like those <em>Prisoner<\/em> songs back in 1979, only smarter. (I mean we all know Cher loves to shop, but I\u2019d like the few-and-far-between biographical numbers to be more informative than <em>she buys one in every color<\/em>. <\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><em>I feel like a quote out of context\u2026withholding the rest so I can be free what you wanna see.<br \/>I got the gestures, sounds, got and the timing down \u2026it\u2019s uncanny.

I\u2019ve seen Ben Folds Five play in New York City and I saw Ben Folds play alone at the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella_Valley_Music_and_Arts_Festival\">Coachella Music Festival<\/a> a few years ago. He was amazing without a band, just him pounding away on his piano. I love \u201cBrick,\u201d \u201cEddie Walker\u201d and \u201cRockin the Suburbs.\u201d Even the line <\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>\u201c<em>I take the check and face the facts as some producer with computers fixes all my shitty tracks<\/em>\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>makes me smile like Bette Midler might before saying something snarky about \u201cBelieve.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Ben Folds Five also mentions Cher in a cover of the Flaming Lips song, \u201cShe Don\u2019t Use Jelly\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>\u201c<em>I know a girl who reminds me of Cher. She\u2019s always changing the color of her hair<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>My Dad just sent me the Tom Waits\u2019 album <em>Orphans<\/em>. I know many pop-fans find Tom Waits un-listen-able. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apeculture.com\/\">Ape Culture<\/a> co-hort Julie Wiskirchen said \u201c[Waits] sings and acts like a crazy person on the subway.\u201d In many ways Waits is the anti-Cher. He\u2019s so anti-image, this is his image. So anti-artifice, that\u2019s his artifice. He\u2019s the pinnacle of rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll credibility and would never be caught dead on dance-floor speakers. He dresses down \u2013 way, way down. <em>No wigs<\/em> (as far as we know) and no glitter. <\/p>\n<p>I had the Waits CD once with \u201cDowntown Train\u201d on it. I don\u2019t know what happened to it, which means the CD found its way to the Salvation Army store. A scoundrelish Irishman I used to date re-introduced me to a few Waits tunes which I passed on to my Dad who is now a fan. I didn\u2019t realize Waits sang \u201cOle 55.\u201d Back then he sounded more like Gregg Allman than the smoking, hard-drinking, gnarly voice we\u2019re hearing today. (Yes I know, Allman has a gnarly voice too; but there&#8217;s really no comparison.) <\/p>\n<p>I love the new album. The lyrics are stand-out poetry and the pieces are very melodious &#8212; if some of you can get past his voice. Which if you\u2019re acclimated to Sonny Bono shouldn\u2019t be a problem. In fact, I think if it were not for Waits&#8217; rough-and-tumble image, these songs would be considered pop songs, they\u2019re so catchy. The album has three CDs. <em>Brawlers<\/em> is bluesy, <em>Bawlers<\/em> is more about standards. I haven\u2019t gotten to the last one, <em>Bastards<\/em>, yet.<\/p>\n<p>But from the blues-infused <em>Brawlers<\/em> CD, two songs would be great to hear Cher cover: \u201cLowdown\u201d and \u201cLost at the Bottom of the World.\u201d They are lyrically strong (like her later Warner Bros material) and they offer contrast to her musical oeuvre, such as the ballads of <em>It\u2019s a Man\u2019s World<\/em> did. Those ballads gave Cher \u201ca slow moment\u201d in the overall show. <\/p>\n<p>To this point, it was tragic when we lost \u201cThe Way of Love\u201d from the set of Cher\u2019s Farewell tour because that was the only quiet moment in a frantic, non-stop show. Just like <em>Celebration at Caesars<\/em> had \u201cTake It To the Limit\u201d and \u201cOn My Own,\u201d the Farewell needed a ballad or two. We need a quiet, melodic contrast to all the lights and color, just as a visual design needs a contrast between light and dark or rough and smooth. <\/p>\n<p>Plus, Waits would be a respectable choice for someone interested in amping up their rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll street cred. In fact, \u201cOle 55\u201d would be a great cover too.<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><em>And now the sun\u2019s comin up<br \/>I\u2019m riding with lady luck<br \/>Freeway cars and trucks\u2026<br \/>Freeway cars and trucks\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If my mind\u2019s somewhere else, you won\u2019t be able to tell\u2026<br \/>I do the best imitation of myself.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since my first thought of having a Cher blog, I\u2019ve wanted to include a feature called \u201cSongs Cher Should Cover.\u201d You run into so many songs here and there that you think have that special stamp of Cher-potential.
