[Music] 10 years of Cover versions that absolutely SPANK the originals .......... over to you

[fork me]

Shit original, not quite so shit cover that I found growing on me at the time...





...and finally this, it doesn't spank the original (which is an all time classic), but it IS an awesome cover, even if only because I would never have thought you could do a dance cover of it...

Thanks to PFJ I have been made aware of this band and discovered this, which has left me speechless and slack jawed in amazement!







I could be wrong but I don't think they take themselves entirely seriously.

NSC's list was miles better.

The bloody Pet Shop Boys!! That rubbish kept The Pogues off number one.

It's not even the best cover of that song: Hats off to Acker79 Page 16.

This has just popped up on Spotify shuffle play.



They are from Austria, so probaby not named after the small back of beyond Kent town near which my Mother in Law lives.

Well i'll go to the foot of our stairs, another rockin' cover version has just shuffled to the top of the pack. Remember this being played to death on French radio a couple of Summer Holidays ago. This one is more in line with the thread title I believe.

Elvis Presley - The wonder of you.

Bloody love it.

 

[1959]

Young Man Blues, covered by The Who, but written by Mose Allison.

NSC seems to be all doom and gloom about the world in general, problems with tickets to see the Arse and delays on the trains. This funktastic instrumental cover of a song we all know (if not exactly love) I hope will lighten the mood. Brought to my attention when Craig Charles sat in for Steve Wright over Christmas, imho Craig Charles plays some cracking stuff. Video must have cost an absolute fortune to make (not) but the music more than makes up for it.

Only listen to this if you enjoy a jazz deconstruction. It moves towards a great ending from about 3:30.

Bastille - Rhythm of the night is awesome.

The original was crap as well, only IMHO, I suppose.

 

[OzMike]

Beatles covers and a John Lennon one, which were better than the originals, in my opinion.
