Marnie Stern

Don't Stop Believin' (Journey Cover) [MP3]

Average Rating: 6.00

What might seem cheesy and obvious from almost anyone else just seems mildly appropriate from Marnie Stern. For instance, covering the Gouda of cheese anthems, Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" is pretty dangerous territory, but after Stern has squeezed, fret-slapped and in general just melted the song out of her guitar, it's almost like all of the 80's fringe is gone from it. Certainly not at all something you'd want to hear at a high school sporting event of any kind.

What de-cheesified this song for me was when it was played at game three of the Dodgers/Cubs NLDS, and then the camera cut to Steve Perry actually being there in the stadium! And then the Dodgers won! And then...well, congrats Phillies, I suppose.
