15. William Shatner - Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds
(Excerpt) Read more at standard.co.uk ...
Belushi did it better than Cocker. 😆
the group covering nirvana, the group covering when is now -also theme of Charmed, and.of.course.will.iam.SHAT.ner!
two videos were marked ‘private’ so they must really be awful.
no Celine Dion “you shook me all night long”? who’s effed up idea was that?
Bananarama should have left “Venus” alone, too.
nooo that was fantastic!!
“Joe Cocker singing A Little Help From My Friends.“
I disagree. Joe did an excellent version of that Beatles song.
Corey Hart should be arrested for the murder of Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Live With You”.
Guns & Roses “Knockin on Heavens Dowo”
If you cover Dylan do it better than Dylan. It’s easy.
azzhole rose sucks
Shatner’s saving grace in this song is that its Ritchie Blackmore.

The original song was written as fast and up beat. Many have praised them for making a sad song actually sound sad.
David Bowie did the first one and Thin Lizzy first did a modern version of the second one.
The entire album: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1VqjvzeqcHkZzybfDb8FNTC6iitVgQJv
That is one of the greatest covers ever made. Only version of that song to recognize how angry the lyrics are. Even the guy that wrote the song said it’s amazing.
Wrong.
Joe’s rendition of WALHFMF is brilliant, raw, and passionate.
The worst cover of all time, hands down, is Manfred Mann butchering Blinded By The Light.
Dishonorable Mention:
Knocking On Heaven’s Door, GNR
Live and Let Die, GNR
Come Together, Aerosmith
Any cover of a Springsteen song is an improvement over the original, even this one....

Any cover of Lynard Skynard’s Simple Man of which there are scores.
Even the self indulgent good ones can’t touch it.
