Friday Night is Music Night: Tributes

[AndyRM]

Songs that are tributes to the original, but not covers.

To give you an idea, here is my trilogy, starting with...

David Bowie - Crystal Japan

Excellent, I've won a personal bet that this would be the first response.

Well it had to be, after all it's a tribute to the best song in the world

Ooh, this is an interesting one. Where do we stand on sampling, is that classed as a tribute?

My first pair anyway, does this count?

Hm. I think sampling would make it too easy really. Although as you'll know from my previous music threads, I'm pretty laissez faire.

I agree, we did a sampling one a while ago anyway.

Can't be arsed at the moment, as I'm about half way through Willie the Pimp, but can I suggest anything by the Flying Lizards?

There's a load of Amateur Transplants I could post but most of it is NSFW to say the least. If you like medical humour and knob gags you can look it up.
