Alternative Covers of Well Known Songs

The Prince-e-Paul

Great Amy Winehouse cover for any Hendo's fans. These fella's are great fun. No oven no pie, also a great cover.

Billy Paul covers Elton Johns Your Song so much better on the B-side to Me and Mrs Jones.

Showing my age i know.

Easy Star All Stars - Dub Side of The Moon. Brilliant intro with all the bubbling noises, lighter flicking, coughing and spluttering.

Addick Addict

Johnny Cash's version of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt". Singing about different things but I do struggle with getting the original.

No cover of Enjoy the Silence can possibly hold a candle to the original. Because it is the best song ever written.

Patti Smith's version of Prince's "When Doves Cry". Loved the Prince version - but Patti Smith's version has more emotion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue58EoHOOtY. but then I'm a big Patti Smith fan...

All of the songs she covered are better. Imho but the best is Gloria. Haven't got a link.

And actually the cover by The Doors is brilliant too. No link for that either.
