Cover songs.

[Weedocbhoy60]

Had a conversation with a colleague at work, Patrick supporter as it happens so we couldnae talk about fitba, about our favourite cover versions. Many songs and bands were discussed. Made me wonder what my fellow members would pick as a favourite cover version.
for me it was the Stranglers version of Walk On By

 

[50 Shades of Green]

George Michael, Dont let the sun go down.

 

[Benignus]

Christie Moore covering Dylans The lonesome death of Hattie Carroll takes some beating, love these threads, just in from graft but I'll be back to post more tunes quick style?

 

[Spherical Planet]

Can we do worst cover versions too:

1. Placebo butchering "running up the hill"
2. Bernie Sumner slaughtering "love will tear us apart"
3. Me kicking the shit oot o' "rebel rebel" on the karaoke.

Forgot about ALF and Johnny Was. That was belter.

Leadbellys 'Where did you sleep last night' covered by Nirvana is a goosebumps special.

Celtic support covering YNWA is imho the clear winner, (I'm not biased, just keeping it real) ???

I know it's not a cover but Jah War by The Ruts is another great punky reggae tune too.
Me n my mate got to talk with Paul Fox the bass player when the Ruts DC played in Dundee. A modest cool guy who sadly died a few months after that Dundee gig.

Nirvana covered a few songs by Scottish band The Vaselines as well. Son of a Gun, Lithium and a couple of other songs that I canna remember. If ye met the two o them in a pub and they told ye that they had four songs on one of the biggest selling albums ever (Nevermind) you wouldna believe them. Most people never even heard of The Vaselines.
There is a good video of The Vaselines on you tube doing Son of a Gun live for a radio station in Seattle.

Have you heard a band called Death in Vegas covering twist and crawl by The Beat mate, belter of a tune, Ranking Roger on vocals, another one we sadly lost this year.
