LOL, yeah. I love how they touched on the right Bowie-style pronunciations while singing: "...and I'm floating in a most a-peculiar waaay."

the animals house of the rising sun isnt on there? wtf. best cover ever.

Froofy-D · 01-13-2007, 03:06 PM

How the fuck could they leave this out:

Its easily better than a lot of stuff listed there. The Siouxie + Banshees cover of Dear Prudence is just boring. I like Both Marilyn Manson and Sonic Youth but I think both covers listed there are worse than originals by several orders of magnitude.

Yeah the House of the Rising sun is a glaring omission as well.

great memory, loved that cover. I think I remember them trying to do another funny video cover later too and it being horrible

That is indeed an awesome cover, but they really sucked at everything else they ever did. I saw them in concert once; they got booed off the stage. I think they also played with Mest. I'd kill the guy who drug me out to see that, but he also took me to a gwar concert where sexecutioner fucked John Benet Ramsey in the ass until she started spewing blood and semen in a magnificent 20 foot arc from her mouth. So, I guess I'll have to call it even.

Didn't see "Feeling Good" covered by Muse originally made by Nina Simone.

Ham n Cheese · 01-14-2007, 11:17 AM

That's a good one, I even like the Buble version.

Wurstsalat · 01-16-2007, 05:50 PM

Dont know if it was mentioned already - Girl you ll be a woman soon from Overkill ( N.Diamond orig. ) was a cover i allway enjoyed listening to.

Copy and paste the EMBED link next to the video. Yeah that Urge Overkill cover song is good.

Wurstsalat · 01-17-2007, 03:13 PM

Ah i see, thanks. Allways wanted to know that

Just klicked the link on page 1 and smooth criminal on first page, gogo me

But why isnt this in the top 100? pff

or this?

Jeeez, who made that list? :P

Now if this one isnt a song like everybody HAS to know, besides the guy who made the list

I think it's fairly obvious as far as cover songs go that Hurt should be number 1.

Kasonic · 01-18-2007, 05:56 AM

Seriously. That Sid Vicious song is a pile of garbage.

decairn · 01-20-2007, 05:10 PM

Pity they missed Bowie's cover of Port of Amsterdam by Jacques Brel. Simple song, great lyrics and a blast to play and belt out.

Unless i m mistaken, its the other way around my friend, although bowie s version is definately awesome, both on translating and singing aspects.

PS : Joe strummer s version of Redemption song on the Streetcore album.
