No way near as good as the original though! Why do people do covers??

Yeah like that one, also think No Doubt and "It's my life" was better than the original.

Now by that do you mean the Soft Cell version, or the orginal by Mrs Marc Bolan, Gloria Jones, which was a 'stomper' of the Northern Soul days?

ooooooooo yeah
love the video to
so horny

A rather obscure one... Propaganda's "Sorry for laughing" , not just because it's a truly great track, but mainly because the original (by Josef K) is so bad it's laughable.

26 Feb 2005

Second that emotion by Japan - a far supeior version (IMHO) than the original by Smokey Robinson and the miracles
Also ( and i may get shot for such sacrelige) but i much prefered Paul Youngs version of wherever i lay may hat - to the original by Marvin Gaye
I could go on - but fear the ribbing would get worse!

I have a mash mix of Its My life with Talk Talk and No Doubt singing together - Talk talk on left speaker and No Doubt on right - beats anything hands down
Worst one is DJ Sammy Boys of summer how anyone could even think about redoing Don Henleys classic is amazing

I like Fatboy Slims cover of "Take yo' praise" by Camille Yarborough,which of course he did as "Praise you". biggrin

Many covers are crap though since they add nothing to the song or totally fuck it up:-see some dickheads ruinous version of Hall&Oates "Out of touch" as a prime example. mad

What, nobody here likes Will Youngs version of `Light my Fire`?!
Gosh. lol

26 Feb 2005

It would be right on my list just below Clive Dunns version if Kaliforniacation Venus

26 Feb 2005

I'll be shot for this I'm sure, but buttercup by busted & McFly is pretty good smile

live and let die by GnR was quite good too!
AND Boyzone's words and father and son were both very good, and were even better when Ronan re-covered them solo

He made a valiant effort, it must be said (!?!?!?!??!) but Shirley Basseys version kicks it out of touch!

I agree that it's rare indeed for a new version to beat the original, but I do like M People's version of the Small Faces' Itchycoo Park.
