463 - Takin It To The Streets - The CoverUp
Episode 463
Monday, 9 November, 2026

A song that marked a turning point for a remarkably talented band, changing their focus and direction but keeping the core of their sound intact, and a cover that sure seems to know what it's doing, which is good because we didn't figure it out. Takin It To The Streets, originally by The Doobie Brothers, covered by Fu Manchu. Outro music is What A Fool Believes, also by The Doobie Brothers, and also of the Michael McDonald era.
