I had a dream last night
In which everything wrong in my life went right
And much to my surprise
It was a quick transition
It played out so vividly
That's it's hard to describe what it did to me
Suffice to say I took it
As a premonition
Today's the day I get a move on
Today's the day I change
Today's the day that I improve on
Who I am and everything I do:
Today's the day that I break up with you
Just stop and think about
All the times I gave in so that we'd work out
If you look at the score
I think I tip the balance
But you prob'ly think that's great
'Cause you take and you drain and manipulate
I guess every succubus
Is gonna have those talents
Today's the day that I get angry
Today's the day I fight
Today's the day that I harangue
The telling-off that's way past overdue:
Today's the day that I break up with you
Don't look at me like that
With your cute pouting lips and your big, sad eyes
You're pretty, but you're pretty much a bitch
It's time for you to see
That the world is the world universally
And nowhere does it say
That you can run my planet
So you take our history
And your need for control and co-misery
And brace yourself real good
Then go ahead and cram it
Today's the day that I'm the victor
Today's the day I win
Today's the day I do your sister
Here's a toast to starting life anew:
Today's the day that I wake up
It's time to say I've had enough
Today's the day that I break up with you

I've been subscribed to Asim for a long time, and if you're not...you should be. I might post a video response showing how much of a pest I made myself while waiting for this. Anyways, thanks Asim, it was worth the wait. - Spin

For a Canuck, "Buckethat" Bobby Matheson has a folksy down-home style that at times reminds me of Louisiana. Bobby always comes across as sincere and somehow strangely lovable.

I don't care who you are. Chris Cogott probably sounds better than you do. Get over it.
I don't have a video of this song because Chris is very shy and lives in the Witness Protection Program. Actually he's not, but I want you to treat him as if he were. Because he doesn't know he's awesome, and if any of you bastidges tell him how good he is he may go pro and not have time to collaborate with the rest of us poor schlubs anymore. Then I'll have to come to your house and strangle you, personally.

This was commissioned as part of Chris' Kickstarter campaign. Not only was he a sport about it, he gave the song a unique positive spin.

The psychedelic video for this song doesn't creep me out at all.

Denise manages to turn this into a smokey piano-bar number. Great vocals and a great interpretation from the first female artist to cover "Today's the Day!"

The Dave Leigh half of Dr. Lindyke was the third person to cover this song. Since a couple of piano takes were already done, he went with a C&W guitar interpretation.

It's time for a cover that's more than a little different. The University of Central Florida's award-winning co-ed a cappella group takes on the cult classic.

Jeff MacDougall did something completely different here! Not only did he bring in a nice, clean "doo-wop" sound, but he did all the recording on his iPhone! Insane? Not if you listen to it. This is AWESOME.

Joe 'Covenant' Lamb shocked all listeners with this radical departure, re-imagined as a Celtic ballad in 3/4 time, accompanied by his ever-present bodhran. Genius!

Lyrical Venus has the best of the modified lyrics of the female performers.

One thing Paco doesn't do is stink. This is a really excellent cover. Paco del Stinko is a regular at Song Fight.
