CAKE - Half As Much [Rare Cover]

Here's CAKE's rare and unreleased cover of the classic country song "Half As Much", originally written by Curley Williams and recorded by Hank Williams, Sr. Funny thing about CAKE covers: they're just so damn catchy! I've seen a lot of people ask, "Where can I hear this?" (Hell, some people don't even know about it.) So here it is!

Audio quality - not the best, I know. It's all I had, though. Feel free to contact me or just upload your own if you have a higher quality version of the song. Thanks.

Anyway, enjoy.

LYRICS:

If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to bring me down

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

Aww, no
Alright
Aw, yeah
Ohhhhhh, ho!
Hey!
That's right

If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to bring me down

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much
If you only loved me half as much
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

Alright

[pmpboarder]

I have a much higher quality version (lossless rip directly from the source) coming soon. Stay tuned.

[wam2010]

Any Chance you might be able to upload Rancho Seco?

[pmpboarder]

No, sorry. I have them (acoustic and electric versions), but I prefer they spread more slowly and not be so easy to find by doing a quick YouTube or Google search. That's the way it's spread for years and I prefer that.

[RubySeezAll]

Hell Yeah!!!!! Gotta Love It!!!

[pmpboarder]

Oh, absolutely.

[Sunshine1965izhere]

Great remake!! :-) LOVED IT! I am Curley William's brother Joseph Wiliam's granddaughter. All my grandfather's brothers played in the Georgia peach pickers band. ...once upon a time, at the grand ole opry! Your rendition is my fav so far, beating out patsy cline, marty robbins and hank williams...whew. Well done!

[nerdfighter3978]

I quite like Cake. They make me happy.

@SBGEntertainment How does liking a band like Cake make you a hipster...? Cake is popular.

How did you obtain this recording?

[DullTorpor]

Great cover (though I haven't heard the original). I wonder why this didn't appear on B-SIDES.

What else are we missing out on?

[legrandcharles]

Can't wait for their next CD...
