kittykat   10 #1 Posted September 7, 2003 I hate it when people copy songs its so annoying BUT when theyve written enough great songs of their own ill let them off. My vote therefore goes to Muse and Cant take my eyes off you for best (and strangest) cover version. Are there any other cover versions out there that are possibly better than the originals? My kazaa list isnt big enough and im looking to expand on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Phanerothyme   12 #4 Posted September 8, 2003 Camper Van Beethoven, covering 'Pictures of Matchstick Men' by The Status Quo.  Or the Georgia Satellites covering 'Hippy Hippy Shake' by the Swinging Blue Jeans (I believe it was used in the Tom Cruise Vehicle, 'Cocktail'.

tinajones   10 #11 Posted September 8, 2003 the worst cover version has to be jennifer ellisons rendition of the transvision vamp song 'baby i don't care'. leave it alone jenny! its fine as it is.  some guitar band has aggy's 'genie in a bottle' out at the mo. is that allowed?! surely there should be a timescale law as that song isn't old enough to be covered!
