We’ve done cover versions before but it’s usually famous bands. There’s some belting “amateur” stuff on the likes of youtube though. Some personal favs

Billy The Kid does some great stuff, something… And quite a lot of rubbish to be honest, there’s no QC but that’s half the point I think. Something really nice about a basic guitar/piano line and a slightly wonky vocal. Can’t link just now but I really like her versions of Martha and Borne on the FM Waves of the Heart.

Great on every level 😀

Not amateur admittedly, but GWAR’s cover of West End Girls is worth a bash…

My missus knows the blonde one. They aren’t geordies anyway, they are from Jarrow.

Actually, it’s not that good to be fair.

That Tool cover is incredible, along a similar line:
