COVER FRIDAY: Word Up! performed by Korn - Normally I would assiduously avoid trawling in the dreck that is nu-metal. However, Korn had come up in the past week when the Brian Welch testimony video was played during church service last Sunday. I do recommend that video by the way, it is powerful stuff.
Anyway, Korn has been complicit in some dreadful covers in the past, but this is not one of them. While I remember the song Word Up by Cameo as a mid-80’s R&B pop hit, it was long forgotten over time. While they are not the first to perform a hard rocking version (check out the version from Scottish band Gun), Korn does a commendable job here resurrecting the tune and hitting my soft spot for 80’s era music.
