"Coyne got a lot of insight into Madonna by singing that song, because he didn't know the song had sexual undertones. Coyne told his band, 'What is this? What is she singing about?' and they said, 'Dude, she's Madonna. What do you think she's singing about?'"
Warner Acts Go Covers Acts Crazy For Caompilation
A host of unusual covers can be found on "Covered, A Revolution in Sound: Warner Bros. Records," due Feb. 24. On it, 11 current Warner Music Group acts cover a classic tune from the label's back catalog.
Amongst the most intriguing are the Flaming Lips covering Madonna's "Borderline" with help from Stardeath and White Dwarfs, the Black Keys taking on Captain Beefheart's "Her Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles" and Mastodon teaming with ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons for the Texas trio's "Just Gt Paid."
The project was introduced by Adam Sandler's cover of Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane," which he performed last month on "The Late Show With David Letterman."
