Lovecats (version)

[rich 36]

Who was the bloke released a version of the Cure hit,
together with a number of other modern classics including IIRC
Nirvana?

but,,,,,in rather pathetic 'swing' version of them all,
(Think he originally wrote 'My Way' for Sinatra) not sure on that One though

[Famous Graham]

Paul Anka

Heard the Cure version, think I caught a bit of film during recording the album,
sounded bit daft really I think,

somehow interpreting 4/4 stuff in 50's swing phrasing

He did 'Jump' as well didn't he?

Sounded a bit wierd IIRC.

Jamie Cullum and Katie Melua did a Lovecats cover.

firmly stuck in the 50's clicking fingers in time, inane grin,

Have a search for Richard Cheese , he has done loads of stuff like that

Whose he then,

[Church of Noise]

While I can appreciate a good cover (Tori Amos did something nice with the same Nirvana song, Nouvelle Vague do some fabulous covers), that is ridiculous!

Lounge Against The Machine is pretty goofy.

I'm more amused by people roughing songs up, a la Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

ETA my brain is currently infected with a Babyshambles song from the new album which sounds more than a little inspired by Robert Smith and co...

Stylism aside, its the performance I find disturbing.

Its like Dean/Frank and the black fella, are somewhere stage left, egging him on thatmakes it so wrong.

He may be 1957 in his head, the muso's and audience have definitley left the building.

He was on the radio (2iIRC) reffering to himself anectdotely as 'the Kid'
Which apparently is how Frank(hardest job in the world) Sinatra reffered to him........back then

The Pat Boone metal covers is quite good, and that comes from a hardened metal fan. Worth checking out if you want something a bit different.

Yup, sounds like they've completely ripped off the bassline from Lovecats.
