Geri Haliwell,, It's Raining Men. No love, that's water, and the Gods are crying because you're singing again... :cry:
Whenever I see "pop stars" like Britney or Geri, I can't help but think of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation advertising slogan for their robots: "Your plastic pal who's fun to be with". Of course the slogan is, although somewhat unintentionally, ironic.
Christina Aguilera & Missy Elliot's cover of Car Wash.

I cant stand the American Pie cover that madonna did :eeek:
..............it's the worst thing she has probably done.
OK. I'm going to set up the Campaign For Real Music. Someone's got to make a stand against this wall of banality and mediocrity sweeping through our charts.
Who's with me?
Come on you guys!! I mean I can get frustrated with the cloning of great great songs as much as anybody , as everything by Garteh Gates , Girls Aloud et al testifies .
However lest we forget its worth paying the price of a hundred cover version for the odd complete masterpiece . Without all the bad ones we would never have had the stroke of genius that was Hilda baker and Arthur Mullards cover of
" Youre the One that I Want"
......Youre the one wot I want , ooo ooo ooo 'ilda "
Electric 6 are starting to piss me off, I liked them till recently but doing a Kraftwerk song is just one step too far!
I don't think it's a case of the record companies giving the 'acts' of today any new material, it's the fact that the 'acts' themselves are completely incapable of coming up with original content. I mean let's face it, if you give any boy/girl band member a musical instrument to play, they'd give you a blank look and ask you what they're supposed to do with it.
So the record companies have to give them cover versions to murder otherwise they wouldn't release anything.
I say we storm the record stores and have a mass burning of shite CDs. Viva la revolution!
How about 80% of the Rolling Stones best songs ??
The entire Tamla Motown back catalogue ?
been lots of dodgy beatle covers but the banshees got it just right still not as good as the origanal though :grin: perfection
Ive just heared that G4 are going to do Radioheads Creep,, and if they win that damn show it will be their first single!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: THEY SHOULD BE SHOT BEFORE ITS TO LATE!!
