Unusual and bizarre renditions of well-known musical pieces.

Lonely Boy,, like you've never seen it before:

Bloody love Mnozil Brass. If you ever get the chance to see them live, their shows are fantastic. I must have seen them about 15 times.

I like this a lot, I first heard them on the 'Radcliffe & Maconie Show', when they did their Jurassic Coast walk




I've got a couple of cassettes of this guy;




I like Dwight, but this is nowhere near being a favourite track

My sister, bless her, took me to see them for my birthday last year.

Superb singing, acting and the best brass playing you will ever hear.

Not sure what the story is here but I suspect Jackie was asked to sing this and claimed " I don't know the words" (he was good at that) but then said "You sing it then"
Debbie (his partner) just looks a bit bemused.

Weird covers of StH have a long history. My earliest experience was on an Australian comedy program around 1990, that had a different artist (often tribute bands) cover it every week. Yes, one week it was <spit> Rolf Harris, who took the idea to the UK and had a hit with it.

Then I came across this wonderful version by Traffic Experiment:
