Miley Cyrus is considering covering "I'm Your Man" apparently. Don't know if this has been highlighted anywhere on the forum already and unsure how much credence to give this report

Reserving judgement.....

Such disparity from the class of the songwriter to the class of the one covering it.

"I'm gonna cover dis shit."

Hopefully, she has more respect than that for the material.

As we have discussed elsewhere on this forum, Ms. Cyrus has done some very good covers of 'classic' songs, among them a Dylan and a Melanie Song ('You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go' and 'Look What They've Done To My Song'). So I have no misgivings about her ''I'm Your Man' cover - should it ever become a reality.

She did it. Perfectly.

Thank you for the link.

Thank you for not twerking, Ms. Cyrus. Not quite sure what you did there with that Jewish star, but at least you maintained some dignity with this great song.

What's one to think when Miley Cyrus covers Leonard Cohen. Actually, she did a great job of it.

Hated it. She is disgusting.

According to NME (via DrHGuy),

Cyrus appeared at James Franco’s Bar Mitzvah, a spoof Jewish coming of age ceremony for the Spring Breakers actor that was also a benefit for the Alzheimer’s Association hosted by Funny Or Die.

There's at least one line in the song when twerking could be appropriate

Yep - she captures the spirit of this song perfectly. It is slightly weird, off beat, eccentric, weirdly erotic. She is slightly weird, off beat, eccentric, and weirdly erotic ! The whole scenario in this video is like that too.

I will twerk for you
I will examine every inch of you (with my tongue)
I will wear a mask for you
I'm your girl !

I wish there was a good quality audio of this performance.

Good synopsis, Kush. I agree. I'm wishing for that good audio, too.
Thanks for the back story, Roman!!! It fits perfectly with the intention.
Yes, true... same as Kush noted. Twerking would not have been so out of place. I'm just glad she didn't.

Miley Cyrus mashed up Leonard Cohen and Peggy Lee on the premiere episode of NBC's variety show 'Maya and Marty.'

I'm Your Man + I'm a Woman

Thanks, Roman.
