Covers of Beatles Tunes
« on: March 12, 2018, 05:18:59 PM »
We might need a Beatles section if we get a few more threads about them...

I'll start with Richie Havens' cover of "Here Comes the Sun"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBbXKsKXyNU

Amazing folk re-working of Harrison's classic.

^ You can tell it's from the Janick Gers era of Gillan, guitar and production are the tells here. :)


Paul McCartney said he liked Stevie Wonder's version of "We Can Work It Out" better than the one The Beatles did. :smug:

After playing Stevie Wonder, YouTube shot a link to this tune:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpcN5SGZqxE

GOOD GOD THAT COOKS! GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER FOR THE BASS MAN'S FINGERS!

Now all I need to go with that tune is a mass choir singing the lyrics and I'll be ready for the warden to flip that switch.

I love doing Cocker's version of that song for Karaoke. I got his lurching moves and that WUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH down perfect.

Resolved: comedians should not do rock albums. No. They should not. They can do parody albums, but not rock albums.

On the other hand, I love a good funk cover tune. This version of "Hey Jude" is a stone groove, y'all.

One of my best buds hate Beatles-covers even more than i do, and he's not very into Ozzy/Sabbath or Metal at all, but he was very impressed by the first live performance of this...

The first version of this song that I encountered, from Elvis' last big hurrah:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8W5jmL6b7k

It was quite a few years before I heard the original Beatles version.

I once heard a critic claim that "Something" was the most covered Beatles tune of all. Here's Old Blue Eyes doing it justice:

Still shitty, though. I was dreading for when this one came by...

Certain bands just shouldn't be covered....Beatles & Floyd being two.

In saying that, I've always liked Joe Cockers With a Little Help From My Friends and a Johnny Farnham's version of Help!



Have no time for Sabbath covers either.
