edited October 2009 in Not Sports Related
Inspired by the comments by some on the Wild Horses thread I thought we should start a thread dedicated to all those magnificent reproductions of classic songs.

Having said that, imho, it will be extremely difficult to beat my offering of:

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - William Shatner

    Bad News - Bohemian Rhapsody. Although, it probably shouldn't count as it was meant to be terrible.

    Rolf Harris - Stairway to Heaven ... although Henry probably prefers that version ;-)

    Celine Dion - You shook me (all night long) by AC/DC has to be up there as the worst cover version ever?

    Or perhaps any of the tracks off of Bob Dylan's recently released Christmas Album?

    I think you've outdone me there Alex. If ever there was a case for trying someone for murder it has to be Madge's version of an all time classic.

    Put a Little Love in Your Heart by Leonard Nimoy ain't too clever. Youtube it and see if you can bear to listen to the whole record.

    Anything that...... DJ Sammy touches. Blokes an utter....

    Some of the above ones makes my blood boil. Love my music and nothing annoys me quicker than someone destroying a song. Ronan Keating with his songs for his mum or whatever had me throwing things at the telly everytime the advert came on.

    He didn't release it (I hope..), but Paul Shane's cover of 'You've Lost that Loving Feeling' on Pebble Mill was a belter.

    Mark Ronson - 'Stop me' (cover of 'Stop me if you think you've heard this one before') and Tatu - 'How soon is now'.

    Anyone who covers The Smiths should be rewarded with the death penalty.

    There was a rumour that DJ Sammy voted for himself over 10,000 times in the recent DJ Mag Top 100 poll. What a w****r.
