Here's CAKE's rare and unreleased cover of the classic country song "Half As Much", originally written by Curley Williams and recorded by Hank Williams, Sr. Funny thing about CAKE covers: they're just so damn catchy! I've seen a lot of people ask, "Where can I hear this?" (Hell, some people don't even know about it.) So here it is!

Audio quality - not the best, I know. It's all I had, though. Feel free to contact me or just upload your own if you have a higher quality version of the song. Thanks.

Anyway, enjoy.

LYRICS:

If you loved me half as much as I love you

You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do

You're nice to me when there's no one else around

You only build me up to bring me down

If you missed me half as much as I miss you

You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do

I know that I would never be this blue

If you only loved me half as much as I love you

Aww, no

Alright

Aw, yeah

Ohhhhhh, ho!

Hey!

That's right

If you loved me half as much as I love you

You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do

You're nice to me when there's no one else around

You only build me up to bring me down

If you missed me half as much as I miss you

You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do

I know that I would never be this blue

If you only loved me half as much

If you only loved me half as much

If you only loved me half as much as I love you

Alright

Cake is their very own genre. So what if they do a lot of covers, they make each one uniquely their own! Love it, thanks for posting!

Thanks for the great post. Do you know if Cake ever attempted "The Race is On" (George Jones cover) or "My Babe" (Willie Dixon/Little Walter cover) in the studio? I can recall them doing them both as part of their set circa 1994.

Great cover (though I haven't heard the original). I wonder why this didn't appear on B-SIDES. What else are we missing out on?

No, sorry. I have them (acoustic and electric versions), but I prefer they spread more slowly and not be so easy to find by doing a quick YouTube or Google search. That's the way it's spread for years and I prefer that.
