Cover of your Favourite Song

[The_Chimpster]

Thanks for the recap. I'll remember all the disclaimers next time.

This is a weird hill you're choosing to stand on bro.

Not really. Just stating it's a dumb comment saying it's their worst song when you haven't heard them all

 

[Hacky McAxe]

I’m probably thinking from a guitar point of view.
The playing on tracks like ‘Diggin’ The Grave’ and ‘Evidence’ was streets ahead of anything Jim Martin ever did. It added both guts and finesse to their sound. But yes, it was a different direction that probably spelled the beginning of the end.

I would put Midlife Crisis and Real Thing above those.

 

[Hacky McAxe]

Sure. I need to have every bands garbage lined up before I can comment. Since dem the rules, guess you've heard every song they've ever released?

I have heard every song that's ever existed and I can safely say that music peaked at Three Blind Mice on the Recorder.

Shania was an Acca Dacca fan, probably up until her husband Mutt Lange cheated on her...

Sheesh. I bet that didn't impress her much.

 

[Hacky McAxe]

I know..Iam shamed
The Shania Twain cover is atrocious..

ps.. Anastasia is whoa body wise..that flat stomach gets me

Strangely no hips though. I remember wondering why she always did that crazy hip swaying dance until I noticed that if she stops, she's just a straight line. No hips at all. She swings her butt to give the illusion of hips.

They're the opposite of Shakira. Her hips do lie.

 

[CroydonDog]

Sheesh. I bet that didn't impress her much.

Well it was with her best friend too, so she ended up hooking up with her now ex husband.

I don't have any Shania lyric-related gags to add here. Sorry.

Thats a dumb thing to say bro.

Thats a dumb thing to say bro.

Have you met me?

Shakira is most definitely a babe!

Have you met me?

Yes. At a faith no more gig. Think we both left when they started playing Easy.

I liked KD Lang's version - it was played at my father's funeral.

My older sister was into the whole Jeff Buckley thing. I think was probably a couple of years too young.

It’s a great song and KD’s version ain’t shabby. I was definitely caught in the Buckley wave and ‘Last Goodbye’ remains one of my favourite songs to this day, though it’s no longer in my vocal range .

 

[Hacky McAxe]

Yes. At a faith no more gig. Think we both left when they started playing Easy.

Oddly enough, last time I saw FNM was at Soundwave. After dealing with 45 degree heat with no shade all day, I made it about 2 songs in and went, "screw this, I'm going home"

It may have been Easy that was playing at that time.

Can't forget @Indiandog greatest cover

thats what happens after 9 months when bon jovi and johnny depp have sex.

Andrew Denton when he was on the Radio in the morning MMM..used to have a musical challenge..he’d get bands/singers to perform covers of songs completely different to their normal genre.. he’d give em a few minutes to get ready to do it in their own style. This is what inspired me to start this thread.. here is a few from the album they made.. My favourite song is Dion’s My Heart Will Go On by Screaming Jets.. Neil Finn doing Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean, I think he actually released it as a single.. A haunting version of ABBA’s S.O.S. by Toni, it is superb.. A fun one by James Reyne, singing Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights . There is also a creepy one by Rolf Harris singing Divinyls I Touch Myself.. Finally a fun one ..The Wiggles singing AC/DC’s Its Long Way to the Top..

Chocolate Strarfish are still around, and funny enough, their lead single off their last album was also a cover, but not as successful as You're so Vain:

I was so disappointed in that version. Great track for them to cover with Thommo’s vocal range but the arrangement overall was pretty disappointing. I’ll stick with the original penned by Linda Perry, who while we’re talking covers wrote/produced ‘Beautiful’ for Christina Aguilera, later covered by several artists including Elvis Costello and Macy Gray:

I hate it when the uncool is made to sound cool .

 

[Lil Ms Fabulous]

The Best cover version of any song ever is The Living End’s version of Tainted Love, holy crap did they nail that one big time
