Brad Walsh has done it again.

TheB52sGiveMeBackMyManAfter serving up a unique spin on The Roches’ “The Angry Angry Man” earlier this month, he’s followed up with a cover of The B-52s’ “Give Me Back My Man,” from the band’s 1980 album, Wild Planet.

I’m really enjoying Walsh’s unique approach to cover songs, sampling some of the original vocals in his new productions. He did that with “The Angry Angry Man,” and on “Give Me Back My Man,” the lovely ladies of The B-52s, Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson, pop up to support Walsh on the song’s pleading chorus.

If two’s a trend, I wonder what ’80s song with “man” in its title that Walsh might cover next. Deborah Harry’s “I Want That Man” or Eurythmics’ “Missionary Man” fit the bill, though he’ll likely pick something lesser known.
