A song murdered by someone.
Is there a cover version of a song you like by the original artist that has been in your ears truly murdered by a covering artist?
Mine is 'Everybody Knows' by Leonard Cohen, absolutely murdered by Barb Jungr.

Oh this list is truly lengthy and in some cases made average songs totally abysmal: Percy Sledge 'when a man loves a woman' - cue Michael Bolton; George Michael 'Last Christmas' - cue Wigfield (I think that's her name) Righteous brothers 'unchained melody' - Robson and Jerome Blondie 'tide is high' - Atomic Kitten Bee Gees 'Tragedy' - Steps |
The Platters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UskkwKmccGU Sam Cooke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV8XwoIGo5M While I enjoy The Platters and love Sam Cooke, I have to say that Bobby Hatfield outsings them both without overdoing it (as is the current fashion) in this case. He just puts a lot more real emotion into it, IMHO, of course. I’m a strong believer that there’s no right or wrong answer in what music one prefers. |
