What's your favourite cover of a Beatles song?

[Mellotron]

No come on, it suits him!

For the record, the best cover of Eleanor Rigby is by 2manydjs, a "mash up" of Eleanor Rigby (instrumental) with a Kraftwerk song. Well jackson.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I'll start with this absolute bea-uty from Esther Phillips...

I like the arrangement, but i just don't like her voice.

[The Large One]

Yeah, but it's not a Beatles song.

I suppose there is this *ahem* gem...

[looney]

Anything by Oasis.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Emmylou Harris - To know him is to Love him

 

[Willow]

Anything by Oasis.

They murdered I am the Walrus.

My fave Beatle cover is It's All Too Much by The House of Love. They do a good version of Strange Brew, too.

that is absolute Genius. Of all the comedians that have gone, Peter Sellers is the one I miss most.

 

[Willow]

Emmylou Harris - To know him is to Love him

Another non Beatle number! In fact, The Beatles only version of this is on Live at the BBC, isn't it?

 

[coventrygull]

anything from the film "Across the Universe"

 

[The Large One]

Emmylou Harris - To know him is to Love him

Originally by The Teddy Bears (incl. the now incarcerated Phil Spector).

 

[Acker79]

Pretty much any of them in the film Across the Universe. Ones I particularly enjoy...

Sorry I meant Here , There and Everywhere

 

[Willow]

i stand corrected...I thought it was a lennon and mccartney song

Clearly an influence - it does sound like one.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Originally by The Teddy Bears (incl. the now incarcerated Phil Spector).

Hurrah, I have been corrected by Alan...my life is complete.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I thought Shirley bassey's version of Something was very good also

 

[Icy Gull]

Can't imagine why he bothered with it, as 90% of his own songs are better, but here's my offering
