Guest Anonymous Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 If you disregard the first minute and a half.. It's as good if not not better than Massive Attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomblands Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 This should maybe go in a thread called "Covers which are not better than the original version but are admirable attempts". The Hold Steady covering Springsteen's Atlantic City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sga Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 This is one of my favorate covers. Not sure if it is better than the original, I just like it as its different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchieSquirrel Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I've heard there was a song called 'Call On Me' which is of course created by Eric Prydz (disco themed) and I think there is an original song of Call On Me. Is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjool Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 ^ The original is called 'Valerie' by Steve Winwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deardron Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Status Quo - Rockin' All Over The World (originally by John Fogerty)Status Quo - In The Army Now (the Bolland brothers)Nazareth - This Flight Tonight (Joni Mitchell)Nazareth - Ruby Tuesday (The Rolling Stones)My Dying Bride - Some Velvet Morning (don't remember the original act...) Not to forget Weird Al' Yankovic who does splendid parodies of other people's songs, which musically sound sometimes better than the originals.

EM Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 My Dying Bride - Some Velvet Morning (don't remember the original act...).Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra Bearing in mind how rubbish many of the more well known covers of Some Velvet Morning have been (e.g. Entombed, Primal Scream, Lydia Lunch), I was a bit dubious if the above would be a worthwhile attempt. Turns out, I think, to be a surprisingly good version. Where it really scores is how it deals with the silly flower power bit in the original, it de-naffs it significantly. Even Vanilla Fudge's version loses it a bit in those sections. The Lee ref reminds me of a couple of other particularly fine cover versions, both by The Last Shadow Puppets. The first is their cover of Lee and Nancy's excellent Paris Summer. This is the live version on Canal+ with Alison Mosshart from The Kills: I reckon their concert was the best I've been at in recent years. The highlight for me was another cover version, In the heat of the morning, originally by Bowie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
