Best Song Covers You've Heard

[Denia]

Roseanne Barr singing the National Anthem!

that's a must-hear *cringe*

Has anyone here heard Mylo's cover of sweet child of mine? It's really good, though probably not to everyones taste here.

you can listen to it at this random myspace page above, it's a live version.

I also happened to really like Morrissey's cover of 'a song from under the floorboards' by magazine.

that was exellent. never though sweet child of mine would sound any good at all in a new-wavish fashion, but i like it.

cheers.

Yeah, he managed to pull it off pretty well, glad you enjoyed it

 

[Asleep at the Wheel]

Roseanne Barr singing the National Anthem!

The SSB deserves it. Awful tune. America the Beautiful is so much better.

 

[AlbertFinney]

Hallellujah - is that spelt right? Jeff Buckley
California Sun - The Ramones
A number of Johnny Cash covers

Definitely not "Golden Lights" or "Work is a four letter word".

 

[Sister]

Personal Jesus - Johnny Cash is a good one.

 

[The Cat's Mother]

It'll never happen, but.....

Shirley Bassey could turn "At Last I am Born" into an absolute classic.

Finally finally finally I found it! You MUST hear Erasure's glorious cover of Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me). I posted a download link for it, and also for the original Steve Harley + Cockney Rebels version, in the Downloads/Bootlegs section:

http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/showthread.php?t=60593

By the way, is that the right way to do it? Is Downloads/Bootlegs the place for all downloads+bootlegs, or only Smiths+Morrissey ones? Are other bands' downloads supposed to be posted in this forum?

Ok, enjoy!

love, math+

I really like a cover version of this go gos song, "Our lips are sealed", It's by fun boy three, a band which were started by the lead singer of the specials.

Heres a you tube version of it, it's much better than the go gos version.
