:flushed:
Sounds like the funeral march cover for Dracula.!
Definitely won’t be getting any sleep now…!

Yeah… If you the DJ, the parties in your house must be hoot! :wink:

I wish I could give this more than one like. So much, much better than the original.

I was a kid when Elton John covered Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. I actually heard it long before I ever heard the Beatles version. I was a dumb kid and didn’t know at the time Elton John didn’t write it. Later, I heard the Beatles original, and it took some getting used to, though now I recognize it’s superior. Still, EJ’s version has some merit, though the ending is a bit cabaret.

Yeah, I love that version. Think of the gravitas it took to rip that song away from Trent Reznor and make it the coda of his (Cash’s) life. Wow. Gave me both chills and tears the first time I saw that video. Good shout from you.

Their studio cover version was cleaner, but I also saw them play it live (not this one) and it was brilliant

Another Beatles cover that kind of changes how you look at the song.

Good video too.

The Original was superb, but this is a great take.

For any ladies out there… Sexbomb himself! :0)
Anyway, still can’t decide if this version is really good, really bad, or somewhere stuck in the middle!
Find myself listening to it every now and then and trying to decide…!

Howling…his back and forths with Lennon in the day.

“How is it, you Welsh poof?”

“Come up here, you scouse prick, and I’ll show you,”

For Tom Jones it’s really poor imo. Sometimes artists should just retire then again they can make lots of money from past reputation. I also find Francis Cabrel poor these days, then again he wasn’t in the same category as Tom when it comes to singing.
Hang up you boots Tom and enjoy life.
