An 'artist' named Chipmunk put in a late entry for the worst cover version ever.

If you want to abuse your ears it's near the end of the 24minutes.

He got given a pretty poor set of choices.

That was alright! Quite jolly I thought. 😆

My son isn't sure which one was best. I think he probably would have preferred RATM if I'd played it to the end.

I thought it was quite novel. A cover version that was a reworking, rather than rehashing, of the original.

Couldn't decide whether it was dreadful or quite a good effort. FC was certainly very effusive!

It's a live lounge tradition. do a cover version that's waaaaaay away from the song you'd normally do.

Adele doing a Cheryl Cole cover, Ellie Goulding doing Rihanna's Only Girl Elbow did Independant Woman by Beyonce

Pulled Apart By Horses doing Willow Smith......spoilt only by the presence of Jo Wiley

Yes - but it doesn't mean it has to suck balls! Will check out that Pulled Apart By Horses one.

The Acrtic Monkey's doing Love Machine was superb, todays, somewhat less so.

FC does my head in. "We've got a huge archive of Live Lounges stretching back 15 years, so here's something from, erm, three weeks ago...."

yes I know, off button, blah blah blah. Switch over to R2 and that equally annoying bint Jo Whiney is there now. No escape....

Dizzy Rascal performed That's not my name by the Ting Tings - it's better than the original. I think they should ask the artist to perform something from the opus of the previous guest - no questions. Mind you, Lady Gaga's live rendition of Poker Face is superb too and we would have been deprived of that recording.

And yes I have all the previous albums...
