MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

Released on this day in 1996…

Cake served up the album…

that would take them The Distance.

Fashion Nugget.

(Music Cut #2)

The album also included Cake’s very different take…

on Gloria Gaynor’s disco classic…

“I Will Survive.”

And Gloria…

wasn’t exactly a fan.

(Music Cut #3)

Why?

Because John McCrea changed some of the lyrics…

in particular, by adding the dreaded F-bomb.

Gaynor later said she didn’t like Cake’s version…

because of the profanity.

She didn’t exactly approve…

but…

Gloria survived Cake.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
