Saturday video break: Heigh Ho

Two very different takes on a Disney classic. First up, Tom Waits:

That’s from the great album Stay Awake. Sure puts another spin on the Dwarfs’ day, doesn’t it? I didn’t really like this version when I first heard it – I think that’s because Stay Awake is full of more alternative artists, and if you bought that album expecting to hear what you were used to, you were going to be surprised, if not disappointed. It grew on me over time. This video is better quality – it’s not a recording of what’s on a TV screen – with better sound, but it wasn’t embeddable, so there you have it.

And then there’s Los Lobos:

I’ve featured this video before, and it continues to be one of my absolute favorite takes on any Disney song. Which is what I’d expect from Los Lobos, because they’re awesome. If you know of any other worthy covers of this, leave a comment and let us know.
