probably my favourite version

just great - and the payoff at the end is perfect

Here's my idea for a music related thread. It's quite simple, just post two versions of the same song, as performed by two different artists. Maximum points for huge differences in style and interpretation between the two artists, zero points for remixes by different DJs.

I'll kick off with the original and a cover of 'Just Like Heaven'. Happy Listening!

The Cure - Just Like Heaven


Katie Melua - Just Like Heaven

needs more Dinosaur Jr

sorry for spamming, I stop now, but I kind of collect cover versions...

and the Jeremy Dellar Acid Brass art piece/cover version

all the acid brass tracks are great (I was brought up on Brass bands - and then on acid house, so it's kind of a perfectly weird mix for me)

I'm using my laptop now, so I can see what's what but I know some people are blocked from YouTube at work so it would still be a good idea to say what the videos are.

Shipbuilding - Elvis Costello vs Robert Wyatt.

That was one pair of my choices but you beat me to it!

Okay then. on a Robert Wyatt theme, and breaking the rules by posting two wildly different song versions by the same artist/band ...

The original version of Moon in June from Soft Machine's Third album (with **suggestive** lyrics)



And a radically different version for a John Peel session

I have the Dave Phillips on vinyl single... one of my most played 'billy tracks. Was glad to see Imelda May doing her version too, which I liked (Imelda...yum yum)
