Is this thread title posted every week? Or is it just a cover version?

Thought the Roxy version of jealous guy was better too

Agreed its a quality version.

Callum Scott done a canny version of Robyn dancing on my own.

Ffs it too how many replies before someone even tried to get the right answer but failed. Someone thankfully corrected him but still didn’t state that it was the best cover version of all time.

Now the thread can end.

Mondays one isn't a cover, although the chorus is the same melody as Lady Marmalade


Edit: sure you had Kinky Afro in your post originally!
Step On definitely though

David Grey version of say hello wave goodbye was much better then the soft cell version.

Good list. The nirvana cover of Bowie is brilliant

Fuck off.

Just seen a couple on X factor that would be in with a shout. Imagine, blew Lennon out the water tbf to the lass

Although blowing some poor fucker out of the water goes against the general mileu of the original.

Canny, and like most of the best cover versions completely different to the original. I know Barry Hyde and he says that Kate Bush never ever acknowledged them for it, despite the royalties and publicity they earned for her.

Haway mate, this is a serious thread.

Good shout, brilliant.

Sorry like but I'm still laughing. Are you sure your music collection isn't the karaoke version?

It is, the original is still better though.
