Each and every Thursday we take you on a musical education trip, where we reach into the infinite sack of music (approximately 400 million songs) and pull out an original song. Then we delve into the sack of musical covers (not quite so large but nonetheless, well over the 10 million mark). We play them back to back for you give them a good comparison but we also bring you them both to the PhoenixFM dinner table (or Breakfast Show blog page) for you to share with your friends or keep them for yourselves, we don’t mind.

So, we start this week with a more recent of the originals from Estelle singing about her American Boy…
