Bloody Sacrilege!!!!

:wah:

You know he gave permission for that!

I've got that cued up should I ever get on air again.

:guitarist

You'll think i'm sad for liking this song but never mind

I definately like the hermes house band version

I dunno which version I like best...

DOH!!! I like 'em both the same!

Land Of Confusion by Genesis





I like Disturbed's version better

My No.3 all-time favourite song is The Pretenders cover of Dylans "Forever Young"

I like quite a few of her tunes... i like these two especially.. dunno why really

The one US band that I really wanted to see is Screeching Weasel. I think I have everything they published, they're complete thrill-power. They are simply awesome.

Here's Johnny Nash's original version of "I Can See Clearly Now", which he wrote - it's a great song, it's worth listening to first.



and here's the Screeching Weasel cover ...



and - nothing to do with covers - but the youtube video for Cool Kids is stunning... (that's a bonus)

Okay, I can play this game. Who knows Wheatus and their Teenage Dirtbag hit?



So, who knows there's a bossa nova version of it?

Be warned, this may offend many many people... Earl Okin's live night-club cover:

"Last Kiss"

Original- J. Frank Wilson & The Cavaliers



Live cover done by Pearl Jam:

I bet most people have seen this already but never mind, it belongs here.

This is one of the cleverest covers of all time, it's just Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins in front of a live TV studio audience for "Craig Kilborne's late show" responding, apparently, to an audience request. If they'd just done a straight cover of Stairway to Heaven that would have been something different but they don't. Grohl keeps Hawkins completely silent for the first two thirds of the song, hesitating and dying away himself and getting the audience involved in the song's momentum, refusing to carry the song even though there can be few people on earth who'd know it note and word perfect better than he would. The result is tense, comic and he eventually has the entire audience lapping up the final quarter. It's not so much a cover of a song as perfect performance art, the guy could have been playing Macbeth opposite Ian McKellen he's so in control of the stage.

:wah::wah:Brilliant!!!

In Ireland there is a commercial for (I think) Vodaphone, where there is a version of Bowie’s ‘Let’s Dance’. This girl signs very softly in almost a whisper type of voice, and it is fantastic. I can’t find it anywhere though.

It's Paula Flynn Mike, and I think it's a bottled water commercial.
