Although totally undone by CBR doing Steady As She Goes

Saw them play that at their gig last year, utterly fb. Didn't expect it to be anywhere near as good as it was.

the view covering the libertines? just **** off.

It will basically sound the same. And I love the libertines

Lily Allen's cover looks interesting, and I think Franz Ferdinand's cover of Bowie should be good. A poor list of artists to cover the songs mainly, though. </BLOCKQUOTE>

how is it even going to remotely sound the same? libs infinitely better than the view. </BLOCKQUOTE>

What I mean is, the view are just a beggar's version, and they'll try and mimic it. And it will sound terrible.

my girlfriend loves that cupid song. I personally thought that it was sung by a woman for a long time, before finding out that johnny nash is just an incredibly girly man. probably has a voice higher than amy winehouse

Interested in hearing the following

1969: Cupid (Johnny Nash) covered by Amy Winehouse

1974: Band On The Run (Wings) covered by Foo Fighters

1975: Love Is The Drug (Roxy Music) covered by Kylie

1977: Sound & Vision (David Bowie) covered by Franz Ferdinand

1978: Teenage Kicks (The Undertones) covered by The Raconteurs

1984: Careless Whisper (George Michael) covered by The Gossip

1985: The Power Of Love (Huey Lewis & The News) covered by Pigeon Detectives

1999: Drinking in LA (Bran Van 3000) covered by The Twang

Some of them are just attrocious though :thdn:

I know OTF is generally trigger happy wrt to shooting down lists, but this one is wholly deserving of such treatment. Practically no redeeming features at all.
