Something Stupid - The Mavericks - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Song covers are part of the tradition of pop music, and when a song is covered by many artists it goes on to become a standard. “Somethin’ Stupid,” the mid-1960s song written by C. Carson Parks and originally recorded as a duet with Gaile Foote, certainly fits that description. Made popular through a cover by Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sinatra in 1967, the song would go on to be covered by a wide array of artists. American country music band The Mavericks tried their hand at the song as part of their 1995 album Music for All Occasions. Produced by Don Cook and Raul Malo, the band’s cover of “Something Stupid” brings the song to a more contemporary sound while retaining the playful elegance of the original. The song features additional vocals by American singer and actress Trisha Yearwood. “Something Stupid” serves as the album closer for Music for All Occasions. The album went on to chart at Number 58 on the US Billboard 200, and at Number 9 on the US Billboard Top Country Albums chart.
