Have we had Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley yet?

If not, then that

We seem to be in a Wedding Present vortex....

Here is their best t v theme music cover.

While we're talking about the weddoes, I can't claim it spanks on the original but I did once hear a Steve Harley interview where he mentioned their 'Come up and see me' as his favourite of the many covers....

 

[METALMICKY]

The Stranglers version of Walk On By stomps all over Dionne Warwick's

 

[bennibenj]

I think both of these are better than the originals - but its a matter of opinion

Boyz 2 Men ft Buble v Doris Day Original - very classy cover to be honest



and also this one (my fav singer so im biased) better than Bobby Womacks Original

You mean the band? It's on the link - 14 Iced Bears.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Hope this works - Joe Cocker - With a little help from my friends.

Much though I love the Beatles, but this is very, very different to the original.

PS - not the clip I intended, but it is pretty true to the original.

Actually I think you were probably hunting for this one ... although I hadn't seen this version with the 'misheard lyric' captions.
