Between the covers

[richardhead]

These are my favourite songs. Barry White

Can't Get Enough of Your Love Babe

I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby

You're the First, The Last, My Everything

Never Never Gonna Give You Up

Just the Way You Are

[Brendan]

I?m wrenching this from thread from its tomb like an unwilling Lazarus because I just stumbled over this Sugar cover by Face to Face.

I can almost guarantee that none of you are going to like it. I do though. So there!

 

[HonaloochieB]

As you've made the thread walk again Brendan, have I mentioned Ian Hunter covering A Nightingale Sang In Berkely Square?

I could look I suppose, but...

[Brendan]

[Brendan]

Why?

[Brendan]

Because. That's why.

[Brendan]

Sorry Honaloochie but youtube says that there is no such person as Ian Hunter.

[HonaloochieB]

There's no such person as Dick Cheese but you found him.

Put a little more effort into it, I'm feeling apathetic and lanquid today but that's no excuse for you to...oh, you know...

[Jeremy]

I can't see Brendan's vid (blocked at work)... but I love Sugar (also Husker Du and Bob Mould's solo stuff). Which song is it?

[Brendan]

Helpless

[Jeremy]

Good track. Not a massive fan of Face To Face, but you can't go wrong covering material like that.

This thread has reminded me of the forthcoming "our band could bbq your life" weekender at the Windmill, Brixton... various bands covering all your favourite US underground bands (Husker Du, Black Flag, Dinosaur Jr, Replacements, etc). I might check it out.

Brendan were you being ironic or summat when you said youtube had noone calle Ian Hunter?

Talking of US underground, here's another one you wont be able to watch.

Social distortion - ring of fire

I was only trying to give Honaloochie and existential crisis.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Well it didn't get quite as bad as that, but you made me look.

[Brendan]

...and existential crisis?

i meant "an" of course.

This pleasantly acoustic cover by Milow, of an utterly filthy 50 Cent song, is all over the radio and going round and round in my head, so I thought I'd share....

It's been number one all over Europe....

I think I quite like it.....

But the video is a bit grim......

[jaybee82]

I dont think anyone could top Paul Shane's cover of 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling' live on Pebble Mill about 10 years ago. Its floating about on YouTube somewhere, and was rinsed spectacularly by Vic and Bob throughout a whole series of Shooting Stars.

I cant watch it without literally howling with laughter.

[mockney piers]

Oh dear god. Just had a look. Car crash bad, all of them, that bloke and his weird flahing eyes, owww.

What were they thinking?!?!?

[annaj]

Who Paul Shane or Milow?

I just had a look at the Paul Shane clip and I honestly couldn't watch past the third line... too horrible... too creepy.

[mockney piers]

As you can tell the Paul shane clip. Just very very wrong!!!!

[nashoi]

As I've posted a link to this on another thread I ought to declare an interest, namely Pat is an old friend of mine, but it's really good honest!

 

[mockney piers]

Umbrella is just such a coverable classic.

Didn't keef's band do one?

Anyway not keef's band: http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=khWGbigjLy4

Was on best man duties at a wedding last year with the lead singer of this once famous boy band from Croydon who attempted to cover and dance

Incredibly their version charted higher (at no 4. in UK) than the Jacksons original which says a lot about where music was at in 1989.
