The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

I was about to link to Meat Loaf's cover of that song on YouTube but apparently all (non-live) copies of it have been removed since the last time I went looking for it. Pity, because it would be a fitting addition to this thread of mighty fine Mercs! |

Makes me think of Steve Miller Band cover of Mercury Blues on the Fly Like An Eagle album which I still own circa 1970's. My favorite version of that song. Great bunch of slick lookin Mercs you have there Daniel. |

Even with the cast windwings? Just checkin'... Nice little collection goin' there Daniel! Pretty soon you'll have almost as many as I have Purple Passions! (1 full Jammer and more than half of a second one! lots of duplicates though) I've about a third of these, but I see quite a few I don't have...yet! |

Nice collection. I've been after the lime green one for awhile now. The yellow one with the white carson top is striking also. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Daniel, that collection is WONDERFUL. Wish I had half of them. Like Swifty says sometimes, "I want." Like I say sometimes, "Oh, I think I am gettiing sick from seeing all of those I don't have." Try Alan Jackson's version of the song. It peaked higher on the charts than any of the other covers mentioned above. |

I didn't realize there was so many versions. don't laugh but I thought Alan wrote that song and I listened to Steve Miller in the 70s and didn't even realise he had a version too. |

Yep listen to it and I do remember it now. I guess I didn't have my mind geared to thinking this is a cover song. who did it originally? |

According to Wiki the song goes back to 1949 and is properly known as "Mercury Blues." I'm most familiar with the Dwight Yoakum cover, but I know I heard it long before, I just can't remember by whom. |

Wes, I like the Dwight Yoakum cover very much as well, and think this song is right up his style. The songs by the various artists are as about as interesting as the casting we started out with by Daniel. This is why I love this website. Look how we can talk about so many things other than Treasure Hunts. All thanks to Swifty!! |

Great collection, D! I have some of those, but not nearly that many. Congrats on finding so many variations. |
