Well, these music threads are much less depressing than the QPR ones at the moments so here is a link to an interesting article from the BBC site. A few surprises there but more importantly what is your best cover version.
Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah, which has been covered by everybody, has to be the best version. Johnny Cash - Hurt Arctic Monkeys - covering Girls Aloud's Love Machine is hilarious
Simply Red aren't many peoples cup of tea but there are good covers of The Stylistic's Brand New; Gregory Isaac's Night Nurse and Positively 4th Street.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime." (Mark Twain)

Talking about Ska as we were earlier, I knew that Guns of Navarone was a cover from the Skatalites and that Too Hot was a cover but I didn't realise the rest;
Many songs on The Specials' debut album were covers of older Jamaican songs. "Monkey Man" had been a hit for Toots & the Maytals in 1969, "Too Hot" was a Prince Buster original from 1966, and the opening track, "A Message to You, Rudy" was a Dandy Livingstone single in 1967. "You're Wondering Now" was originally performed by The Skatalites; a vocal version was recorded by duo Andy and Joey in 1964. Other tracks are reworkings of Jamaican originals: "Too Much Too Young" was based on Lloyd Charmers' "Birth Control" and "Stupid Marriage" draws heavily on the Prince Buster hit "Judge 400 Years" (also known as "Judge Dread").

Over 55 Northern Soul Diehard purists might well prefer this original:
But for me come Scousers or high water it's got to be the tortured Brummy soul cover of Kevin Rowland & the lads: "Big Jimmy? Big Al? Hit it !"
C'mon Rangers FFS for the love of Daphne Biggs and Arthur Jefferson GIVE IT SOME! 3-5-2 never worked,so maybe it's time for PLAN B.. (listen from 1:28)

@Metallica_Hoop 'The original is better but this is a decent effort.'
That's a good point.
A lot of covers are either not as good as the original, or straight copies that don't really add anything.
I like covers that bring something to the party. That's why I tend to like foreign covers, because they can (sometimes) help you hear an old song in a new way.

Surprisingly good and even a bit Christmassy, I'd venture to suggest.
Have a wonderful yuletide!
