Cover Versions of Popular Songs in the Key of Bass
Welcome back to Joe’s Bassment, Where I sing a popular song in a lower key…
This week, I’m covering “Bad Case Of Loving You” made popular by Robert Palmer
At an octave lower, my version sounds more like a ZZ Top tune (in fact, they do cover this song in their live shows):
The original song was written and performed by Moon Martin.
Listen to Moon Martin’s version here!

Bad Case of Loving You (written by Moon Martin)
Lyrics
— — —
(music, Whoa!)
A hot summer night, fell like a net; I’ve gotta find my baby yet
I need you, to soothe my head; And turn my blue heart to red
Doctor Doctor, gimme the news; I got a bad case of lovin’ you
No pill’s gonna cure my ill; I got a bad case of lovin’ you
A pretty face don’t make no pretty heart; I learned that buddy from the start
You think I’m cute, a little bit shy; Mama, I ain’t that kind of guy
Doctor Doctor, gimme the news; I got a bad case of lovin’ you
No pill’s gonna cure my ill; I got a bad case of lovin’ you
(music, Whoa!)
I know you like it, you like it on top; Tell me mamma, are you gonna stop?
You had me down at twenty-one to zip; Smile of Judas on your lip
Shake my fist, knock on wood; I got it bad, and I got it good
Doctor Doctor, gimme the news; I got a bad case of lovin’ you
No pill’s gonna cure my ill; I got a bad case of lovin’ you
