A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Some things should not be allowed & this is one of them. It might be for a good cause but its still grade 1 sh1te.

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

Im not a great fan of post 2000 music but Keane did a nice ballad in 2004 called Everybodys Changing. A couple of years later Lily Allan just about ruined it with her horrible sarf Landan accent!

Anyone think a rock cover of The Sound Of Silence will work? Yes I do - take it away Bobaflex!



Another track from Bobaflex - this time its Pink Floyd's Hey You. An excellent version :)

And if Pilot's Magic being done in French is sad then it being done by Disney is positively tragic!

If anyone has heard of the TV show "Wizards of Waverley Place" its been featured on their apparently


Although as Ultravox memorably sang in the early 80's it means nothing to me........ :-rofl2

You should look up Scott Bradlee's Post Modern Jukebox.

The video above looks like one they did.

Also another name that does sometimes appear with pmj is Mary Spender.

All very talented artists in my opinion.
