Not throwing back into 80’s like we have been, but we are throwing it back to our favorite Swedish pop/dance diva, Robyn.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: “High and Dry”

“High and Dry” is possibly one of my favorite Radiohead songs period and this cover from Blind Lemon Music featuring vocals from Alih Jey is this week’s Throwback Thursday Cover.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)”

If Hall & Oates doesn’t put one in a great mood, we don’t know what is wrong with you. Junior Prom does a spectacular cover of the Hall & Oates classic “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)” and makes a current danceable, hip shaking song! It is also our Throwback Thursday of the week.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: “Don’t You Want Me?”

This week’s Throwback Thursday cover is another classic from the 80’s. This week, Young Summer takes on Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me” and it is stripped down to a piano and vocals and it’s so heartbreaking. A complete 180 from arm swinging, hip swaying version by Human League.
