Gary Jule's Mad World.
As Johnny cash's Hurt & Soft Cell's Tainted Love have already been mentioned, I'm going with
And for sh1t'n'giggles:
Faith No More - Easy
Theo Parrish on STW. Well played
P.E. & Anthrax, Bring the Noise.
Well at least no-one seems to have mentioned Sound of Silence this time. So that's good.
Speaking of SRV, his cover of Little Wing is brilliant.
Home town glory high contrast remix
Ok, covers have been covered [i]so many[/i] times, here's some remixes
Oh go on then, one cover. Original by Blawan
Why have I never known about the P.E./Anthrax?! Awesome
One
A one, two, three, four!
Yes thank you Kurt, Hometown glory High Contrast is ace.
Next favourite remix of mine then...
Bowie and Leftfield
Wonder how many tunes above feature samples from my 4 😉
Old wobbly head doing Say hello, wave goodbye
The Clash, I fought the Law.
Bobby Fuller's original is pretty good, though....
Ramones - Baby I Love You
Beatles - You Really Got A Hold On Me.
Stone Roses - Elizabeth My Dear (Scarborough Fair).
Scissor Sisters - Comfortably Numb
Edit - Pearl Jam's version above (that I hadn't heard before) is a crap regurgitation of the original but SS re-imagine it beautifully IMO.
Stevie Wonders version of We Can Work it out is pretty awesome.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, nobody, I repeat, NOBODY, has ever improved on an original like Joe Cocker
London Grammar Wicked game
I do have a thing for covers, and I could probably fill a thread with covers of What It's Worth but I'll go with Lou Rawls
I do like that London Grammar version of Wicked Game..
Another song that I like two very, very different versions of:
and the other slightly daft dubby thing I've been listening to a bit recently has been this
The Dream Academy - Please, Please, Please
Norman Cooks Brimful of Asha remix
Faith No More's - War Pigs cover is better than original imo and they did a cover of Drugstore Cowboy theme too
Black Crowe's Hard2 Handle
The Jam's David Watts
Limp Bizkits Mission Impossible theme
Stereophonics hand Bags n glad rags
Golden slumbers/carry that weight by Jennifer Hudson was emotionally moving
You'll never walk Alone - Gerry and the Pacemakers.
Prolly this.
Usually listen to this in the garage whilst doing an oil change on the Rover 75, mmmmmmm maroon.
So STW.
Kruder and Dorfmeister remix of Lamb's Trans Fatty Acid. Awesome tune
Classic STW music thread 🙂
Surprised nobody has mentioned the King of the remixes yet...
If you can find it (not on YouTube or anywhere else I've searched for that matter) he did a killer remix of "Not in Love" by Enrique Iglesias too!
That bass hook from Professional Widow though! 8)
Just for Edlong another version of for what it's worth
Houns - MemberWonder how many tunes above feature samples from my 4
I've got a party planned to celebrate the 50th birthday of the amen break.
It will be bangin'. 8)
Stereophonics hand Bags n glad rags - from above gets a vote from me
forgotten what I've posted in previous threads - here's a couple
the ginger one from the eighties does talking heads rather well:
Faith No More's - War Pigs cover is better than original imo
😯
I mean 😯 😯 😯
They sound like a tribute band!
Another Wedding Present cover
My wife hates it but I think it's great:
Alanis Morissette my humps
www.youtube.com/watch?v=W91sqAs-_-g
Remix. Coldcut's Eric B & Rakim, Paid in Full (7 minutes of madness mix)
Cover
Sandie Shaw - Sympathy for the Devil. Can never quite decide if it's great or awful
