Corrosion Of Conformity - Fortunate Son (Creedence Clearwater Revival cover)

4th track from "Drowning in a Daydream " 1996 EP by Corrosion of Conformity

LYRICS:

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, theyre red, white and blue.
And when the band plays hail to the chief,
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord,

It aint me, it aint me, I aint no senators son, son.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, no,

Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, dont they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,

It aint me, it aint me, I aint no millionaires son, no.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, no.

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give?
Ooh, they only answer more! more! more! yoh,

It aint me, it aint me, I aint no military son, son.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, one.

It aint me, it aint me, I aint no fortunate one, no no no,
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no fortunate son, no no no,

Fucking idiots on youtube... Go home, go get a life for once and learn to appreciate good music.

[Billinois78]

They were obviously just having a good time with this session. You can feel it in the sound. I tend to get a smile on my face when I sing along with this version, while I also love the aggression of the original. I love both.

I won't lay the whole 'better/not better than the original' garbage people always say, because they are two very different versions.

[disturbedredneck99]

CCR is completely different, this is just classic COC. a 90's band obviously cant have the same sound as a late 60's band protesting the war in Nam. both great tunes, thumbs up.

[Plozen]

They do an interesting rendition of it, that's to be sure. More refined than the original, I kinda like it.

[2112Primus]

You guys shut your whore mouths. Southern metal COC is just as good as SUPAR HXC CROSSOVER COC

[devilbeastie]

I like COC but not this cover they did...it doesn't come up with the original CCR song at all.

[cycloaddition]

The Circle Jerks did it SO much better. Guess COC was all washed up by the 90s anyhow.

[izgorcore]

@Crotchboxer Maybe so! But the people will never get the fact thats a cover. A COVER to the original, thats what I'm talking about! Cheers!

[Crotchboxer]

@izgorcore Maybe you are such a musical genius so far ahead of your time, to, in fact, be THE eternal word on the subject! That everyone who does not hear the breathtaking and awe inspiring musical complexity to be found in "Fortunate Son" must have deaf ears to the true beauty that you have so diligently uncovered in the bowels of music! I'll bet that it's just that COC was having fun. I don't like it. So what? You do, so rock it! It's just a song man. cheers!

[Crotchboxer]

@izgorcore you shouldn't tell other people to get a life, when you are doing THE EXACT SAME THING THAT EVERYONE ELSE DOES, that being sitting around on youtube being angry, at pretty much nothing.Besides, how do you know that everyone is not at home? I don't generally "youtube" when I'm out of my house, who does that?! Also, appreciating "good" music?! Do you like music that sounds bad to you? Why would anyone else?

[Crotchboxer]

@Qamila1 So I had never heard this before...and when it started, I was having this feeling and that feeling was "This fucking sucks bigtime" then I read your comment, and I had a great laugh. Thanks.
