Cover, Cover

[selenak]

YouTube is still my friend and yielded some amazing Beatles cover versions, some of which I hadn’t known existed (Aretha Franklin did way more Lennon/McCartney than I had assumed, wow); others I had been looking for since eons. Also one amusing crossover I had forgotten (Joe LoDuca actually used We can work it out on Xena for Xena and Gabrielle

Ooh, great stuff! I can't wait to listen (don't have speakers or headphones at the moment).

I know that Sinatra covered Something, rather famously (along with his statement that Something was his favourite Lennon-McCartney song--poor George).

[selenak]

Yes, that punchline shows up in every report of Sinatra's accolade. Poor George indeed!

Here's Old Blue Eyes singing Something, though, without that slight:

This is a wonderful array of Beatles cover tunes. Must have taken some time to put together.

Here, There, and Everywhere is my favorite Beatles tune. It says so much in such a delicate manner. Makes you think about things in a different way.

It's a beautiful, beautiful song. And I'm glad you enjoy the collection!

I hate Youtube. It's giving me errors all over the place again. *sighs*

But the Joan Baez version of "Eleanor Rigby" is my favourite. :)

[selenak]

Bad YouTube. The clips all worked for me, I checked! Maybe it's the time of day?

Joan Baez can do no wrong. (It's the version closest to the original, but I think she still gives it her own imprint.)

BTW, I found the Lucy Lawless We can work it out while searching for the tango from the Bitter Suite, which doesn't appear to be online! (As filmed. The song and other images are.)

[trobadora]

I'll get them to work eventually - they always do. But it's annoying, yeah.

I love Joan Baez to pieces - she really can do no wrong. *g*

If the tango really isn't online, that's such a crime!
