Weird cover versions of well known songs.

And if you thaink the Dexys version is crap try the Danish versions :-rofl2






(this one sounds like something played in a German bier keller)




Sadly (?????) the Finnish language version isnt on YouTube.....)
 
Now this is a bit different Penny Lane covered by my hero - John Wetton! Its actually not bad at all.


 
About time we had a Buggles track in again. Czech doesnt do much for Video Killed The Radio Star :D



Neither does Finnish :-rofl2

 
Star date 30 years ago - 1988 to be exact & Heart originally did Wild Child. And in 2018 Ive found a nice cover by Romeos Daughter


 
More symphonic rock. Chris De Burgh's Dont Pay The Ferryman done by Dignity




and Blue Oyster Cult's Burnin For You done by Iced Earth

 
Eurovision. 1975. The Shadows do Let Me Be The One but are robbed of first place by some crap Dutch effort....

1979 its picked up by a Russian group, which doesnt do it any favours at all :-rofl2



1985 its done in Danish...... :-lmao

Three and a half years since the lovely Tarja was last listed. Here she is again doing Still Of The Night (Whitesnake 1987)

 
Dont think we have had anyone ruining Kim Wilde tracks yet..... So lets give Cambodia by Apoptygma Berzerk a spin :D

 
Fox on the run .... Origin by "Sweet" 1974

 
Something a bit different now. Katy Perry doing Hot n Cold on Sesame Street with Elmo! Sadly it wasnt transmitted on Sesame Street due to Katy's cleavage on show.....



Edit - dead link replaced A/S

Stardate 1984. Laura Branigan. Self Control. One year later its done in Czech by Helena Vondrackova!





Whilst in 2012 its done in German by the rather pretty Paulina Vereti

 
UK Single chart topper, for a good cause.



The original Taupin lyric one reached number 12 if you were wondering.
 
One with an interesting history - In The Army Now.

1982 - Bolland wrote it
1986 - Status Quo have a smash hit with it
2010 Status Quo redo it - and the video has them having far too much fun with some serious big boys toys :D



EDIT - there is some behind the scenes footage on this vid

With lyrics like the original it should never have seen light of day either.
