What's your favourite cover of a Beatles song?

[Don Quixote]

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

What an insult

I can't quite work out who is more starstruck , you with the Beatles or the Complete Badger with Take That

I think Young only did that song to dumb down to the Glastonbury crowd....

 

[The Large One]

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

Good point. Can't believe I forgot that one.

 

[The Large One]

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

Thought you'd be used to it by now, David.

 

[Jam The Man]

YouTube - PETER SELLERS SHE LOVES YOU #2
She Loves You - Sellers & Milligan. Quality last line!



Incidentally, Paul McCartney himself felt the below was the best cover of a Beatles song he'd heard.

YouTube - Michael Jackson - Come together

But don't let that stop the inevitable criticisms from NSC!

3 pages, suprised that Joe Cockers, With A Little Help From My Friend and She Came In Through The Bathroom Window
