I could just imagine Shatner doing it though...Paul Young - Love will Tear us Apart. I've got nothing against Paul Young, but hearing the song by someone other than Joy Division just makes me cringe.
Not so much leather trousers and mescaline Cloffo (like the original) more GAP and a nice cup of tea. Wrong.:lmao:I don't know Will Young but I've heard a new version of Light My Fire on the radio a few times and laughed in disbelief, so I know what you're on about there.
It's so limp isn't it ? It's like he can't be bothered singing it. The timing seems off too.
The Jose Feliciano version isn't exactly dripping with testosterone either I think that was the version Will Young was using as a refrence point rather than the Lizard Kings version.Cloth-Ears wrote:Not so much leather trousers and mescaline Cloffo (like the original) more GAP and a nice cup of tea.

All the others mentioned are dire, but I'm with Ray on this one: it isn't just appalling , but is also sacriligeous.Paul Young - Love will Tear us Apart. I've got nothing against Paul Young, but hearing the song by someone other than Joy Division just makes me cringe.
Come on now - the Nouvelle Vague version is ace!ray70 wrote:All the others mentioned are dire, but I'm with Ray on this one: it isn't just appalling , but is also sacriligeous.Paul Young - Love will Tear us Apart.

I think it was All Saints...Two Worst for me where Atomic Kittens (IIRC) cover of "under the Bridge"
Dunno, preferred it to the original myself. I never liked Wonderwall but Mike Flowers Pops' Val Doonican-esque cheesey pisstake version seemed so outrageously naff that it actually worked. Wouldn't buy it of course.Mike Flowers Pops - Wonderwall :minikiev:
you ae prolly right, some manufactured female "band" really cringed when I heard it, the way they turned the most angst ridden part of the original song into a sickly rap stylee, shocking, have to say put me off the chillis since, if they allowed this to happen, they are as bad as the Louis Walshes of this world.Paul wrote:I think it was All Saints...Two Worst for me where Atomic Kittens (IIRC) cover of "under the Bridge"
Either way, the chillis should have told them to fcuk off - but the chillis aren't what they used to be.
No it's not it's dreadful, turned a classic in to a supermarket jingle. They should be shot at dawn for what they did to that song.boxer wrote:Come on now - the Nouvelle Vague version is ace!ray70 wrote:All the others mentioned are dire, but I'm with Ray on this one: it isn't just appalling , but is also sacriligeous.Paul Young - Love will Tear us Apart.
