Your favourite covers (not duvet related)

[Appearance_Of_A_Junky]

Seeing as how in another thread Wannashag got me to thinking of covers.

I love this one (when mashed or hard at work) - it takes a while to come into the mix (about forty seconds) but it's Aha's classic - Take On Me

there's no greater cover than the rolling stones version of the legendary robert johnson song "love in vain" in my opinion

Lily Allen - Niave
Mika - Same Jeans
Amy Winehouse -Valerie <3
I'm sure there's more
wash your mouth out with soap and water
the zutons version of valarie is a million miles better than winehouse
i'm not saying winehouse is a bad artist, cos she's not, she's a good singer
but still that's a bad shout

[Iceman]

Arctic Monkeys - Take It Or Leave It (Strokes) & You Know I'm No Good (Amy Winehouse)
Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes (The Who)

-glares at wannashag for dissing the SS version of Comfortably Numb-

they made it incredibly different and i love it.

[Princess]

I usually can't stand Amy Winehouse but Valerie was always played on tour so I adore that song. Other covers I like Relight my Fire by Take That,the Elephant Love Medley in Moulin Rouge is loads of covers shoved together,so that too.

A lot of the time I don't even know covers are covers.

they turned it in too a dance tune
the songs called comftabley numb not comftabley whizzing off your tits

Ah but they were probably off their tits when they wrote it and so the great circle of life continues!

[Lee.]

I have to agree with Wannashag re Comfortably Numb! I remember feeling shock and horror when I first heard what The Scissor Sisters had done! T'was sacrilige!! It is definitely the worst cover of all time!

That's the first time I have heard Paramore covering "Use Somebody" and to be honest I'm not very impressed with it..

I had forgotten all about Limp Bizkits "Behind Blue Eyes".. I much prefer their cover over the original by The Who.

In general, I think covered songs are usually (but not always) better in their original form. (apart from Bob Dylan songs, whose are always better covered as, although he can write good songs, he can't sing worth a xxxx)

I do however like this cover of Candi Staton's You've Got the Love

U76QmKG-stU


I also hated this cover of The Skids' The Saints are Coming and then grew to like it but on just listening to it again I am undecided...

Here is original;

wT9eQ2smjUM

there's probably a lot more...

[Chantel]

Amy Winehouse - Valerie

[Shaun]

Madonna's American Pie is a greater act of sacrilege tbh.

[Alf]

[setanta]

Any that Johnny Cash had a crack at.

[Harry!]

Madonna's American Pie is a greater act of sacrilege tbh.

In defence the original may be too long and not radio or TV friendly.

[Lee.]

I like that cover of Love Machine by the Arctic Monkeys... I like how they laugh at around 2 minutes in..

[Shaun]

Any that Johnny Cash had a crack at.

Can't believe I forgot Hurt. Incredible cover.

[Firewire]

Britney Spears - I Love Rock 'n' Roll

Miley Cyrus - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

[Enid]

Britney Spears - I Love Rock 'n' Roll

Miley Cyrus - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
........lol

[Harry!]

Miley Cyrus murdered that song. It was a classic 80's song no need to ruin it.

[setanta]

Can't believe I forgot Hurt. Incredible cover.

All his covers are great. The lad was something special.

[MiuMiu]

Beyonce's cover of Billy Joel's song "Honesty".
So understaded it's beautiful.
