Back to good covers, surely this from Nirvana is up there?

Wow, I think I could geniunly feel the energy drain out of me when he played the solo.

You can try and wriggle out of it all night, you posted it, you have no excuse.

I shall curse your name when I wake in the night screaming, sweating and praying for a death that never comes.

I know a man in Paris, very good man, very efficient. Couple of g's should do it. All I need to do is make one phonecall.

If I had a few G's I'd be making some phone calls of my own good sir!

Waterboarding's good. I learned about it today. It's something that the CIA use (allegedly). Actually, it's not good at all and how one human could ever force such a treatment upon another is quite beyond me, but hey-ho!

Verbal wrote:Not Buckley, but John Cale's version of Hallelujah is class.

Other ones...Johnny Cash's version of Hurt is brilliant (though sjm may disagree with me ).

The Futureheads doing Kate Bush's Hounds of Love is also brilliant.

Smells Like Teen Spirit by the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain.

More later.

Bastard

Actually its a very good cover with the video. It sort of became an epitaph for him. Its almost like he's stole the song (git).

Your Kate Bush cover's a good call.

Bruce had a good one. But this is a better version of it:

Any cover by Frank Sidebottom does for me.

Puskas · Post by **Puskas** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 1:23 pm

I'm waiting for Banarama to do a cover of Atrocity Exhibition.

I can picture the video on Top of the Pops - synchronised dancing and the three of them beckoning seductively, whilst singing "This is the way, step inside..."

All to a bouncy, Stock, Aitken and Waterman style tune.

You know it's what Ian Curtis would have wanted.
