In an earlier thread ("Beatles Elevator Music"), I posted about how I'd heard an awful jazz cover of "A Day in the Life". While searching for said cover on Youtube, I came up with an incredible cover by Jeff Beck (formerly of the Yardbirds).

Check it out:

Let's see, how about a little Canadian artwork: PM Stephen Harper singing With A Little Help From My Friends. And believe me, not all Canadians are as crazy as the comments seem. Enjoy!

I liked the cover of With A Little Help.

A couple of good, different cover versions

Taxman – Junior Parker

If Fulsom had waited just a couple of years, he could have had the "One beetle screwing another" picture from the back of Ram.

That Jeff Beck cover never ceases to amaze me. God among men when it comes to playing guitar.

The Jerry Garcia Band performing a version of "Dear Prudence". I know Jerry always got the words wrong, but I like Jerry's expansive take on this.

Click on track 5. It's epic. LOL!!

And check this. This is a fantastic Mexican duet and today a student told me they do a Blackbird version. Her voice is perfect for the song.

Yes, nice version of Blackbird (I'm focusing on the guitar).

The Chevy Chase "Let It Be" sounds like the Chipmunks! That'll be fun to play at Christmas. I'd never heard that album; some of the other tracks are good too!

Thought she was quite impressive. But whats with all the warbling talent show contestants feel they have to do at the end of songlines, the Mariah effect? Doesnt add anything to their singing.

One country had a John Lennon x-factor special and i think the song was Jealous Guy. The male contestant took what seemed like 5 minutes to deliver each line due to warbling "i didnt mmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaannnnnnnn tooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooo

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

Get on with it!!

I hadnt before and wish i never had. There are tracks on youtube like their 'cover' of We Can Work It Out. A chicken clucking Johns part! Dear me. Might still beat some of those awful x-factor covers, Will Young and Gareth Gates do The Long and Winding Road (was that X-factor or Pop Idol (is there much difference)).

Siouxsie And The Banshees did a different version of Helter Skelter which was 'interesting' (the same people who covered Dear Prudence and got a top ten hit)

I quite like Joe Cocker's version of 'She Came In Through The Bathroom Window'. Not as good as the original, of course, but a good alternative.

I enjoyed a lot of the film "Across the Universe". In my opinion Joe Cocker does a great version of "Come Together" in three different roles during the song in that movie.

Jim Carrey´s version of "I Am the Walrus" on George Martin´s "In My Life" is GOOD. apple01 apple01 apple01
