In honor of this weekend’s special release of the “Riders On The Storm” 7”, and to prepare for the upcoming 40th anniversary addition of L.A. Woman, we’ll be featuring covers and mashups of “Riders On The Storm.” Check out this mashup of Blondie and The Doors with “Rapture Riders.” Jim Morrison and Debbie Harry Mix created by Mark Vidler.

If you didn’t know the “VS” means its a mix of the songs, not to see who’s better, but if I had to say someone won, I would say… We WON 😀 Cause we get to listen to this awesome Mix.

Paint It, Black by the Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger,  Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Ian Stewart, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman.

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and must have it painted black
Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin’ comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,…

I wanna see it tainted, tainted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it tainted, tainted, tainted, tainted black
Yeah!

Hmm, hmm, hmm,…
