I dont know who did it, but the folky whiney bird that did a cover of Sweet child 'O Mine that was on the Xmas John Lewis ad should have her head on a pike. Heresey!

Glenn Campbell's done a few good covers, Good Riddance (Green Day) and Times Like These (Foos) are the ones that stick in my head.

According to The Half Man Half Biscuit Lyric Project, when the Biscuit occasionally cover "Wichita Lineman", the opening line is amended to
"I am a lineman at Notts County".

zigzag69 - Finally, someone else with the sense to realise hellsongs are ace.
The other way around (well, he's a famous singer if you are a redneck or kris kristoffersen) I heartily endorse Larry Jon Wilson's covers of "Sapelo" and "Friday Night Fight At Al's Place", both from the Country Soul Revue (hat tip to Craig Charles on that one)

Has anyone mentioned Ian Brown doing "In the year 2525" off his latest album? Strange choice, but then he is a bit strange.

**** Spotify won't connect so I can't confirm, but Camera Obscura did a fantastic Abba cover on 6Music a few months back.
er... Hounds of Love by the Futureheads? Thing is, that's the version that I heard first, so whenever I hear the Kate Bush version I think it sounds dreadful...Posted 1 year ago # -
