Favourite Morrissey/Smiths covers

[echobay]

Just wondered if anyone has any favourite Morrissey or The Smiths covers.

I love the ones done by our very own Franissey and UncleSkinny/King Leer.

I also like the ones below.

I like "Sweet and Tender Hooligan" by Nouvelle Vague
I also like I Don't Owe You Anything by Sandie Shaw
This Night Has Opened My Eyes, At The Drive In
Everything by Colin Meloy.
Billy Bragg covers are also good.

LOL, somehow I just knew he was a Geordie before I heard him speak. Agreed man, awesome cover. Hope he has more.

Here are two of my faves:

(There are actually two versions of this. I prefer the energy of this one found on the "Smiths is Dead" French tribute. The other is a bside to "Sun Hits the Sky").

(Couldn't believe it when they actually did this, just brilliant considering the quality) :)

I love the Finn/Marr collaborations. Is that Mental floss any good. Can you get your teeth into it, or does it properly get between your teeth?

Radiohead's THR is amazing. Other mainstream covers worthy of honourable mention imo are Bigmouth by Placebo, WDYFOBY by The Killers and Clayhill's Please, Please (This Is England soundtrack).

Very good choice!

They're all naff, covers are mostly awful, especially by peasants

[Girl-with-the-Thorn]

I love Jeff Buckley's covers of 'The Boy With The Thorn In His Side' and 'I Know It's Over'. Beautifully done.

I can't find out anything about this band 'Pasta', who do a gritty cover of 'You're the one for Me, Fatty' - RI_2Rxeo8AU&feature=related

Here's a video montage that sort of works, for Nancy Sinatra's cover of 'Let Me Kiss You' (is Morrissey doing backing vocals?!) - TUUICQ5LE54&feature=related
