Now I can die happy.

That clip was surprisingly un-campy.

He did that on Letterman like two months ago and IT WAS GREAT!

i'd rank tom jones (with the art of noise) cover of prince's "kiss" one of my favorite covers of all time.

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2005 10:07 pm**

Yes, that is an awesome version of Kiss.

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2005 10:34 pm**

Mmm, Tom Jones.

Yes

Funny, I'm not a big prince fan, but a lot of his songs made great covers, eg:

Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor
Manic Monday - The Bangles
Rasberry Beret - Hindu Love Gods

Mr Jones' "Kiss" was the best though

I'd rather hear Nirvana do Paul Anka covers

It was great, man, but it doesn't beat the original out in any way. I don't think any of those you listed do.

He did f'n Black Hole Sun!!!!! WTF!!!!

Posted: **Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:40 am**

Steve & Eydie(sp?) did Black Hole Sun on an album called Lounge-A-Palooza and it was outstanding. Outstanding I tell you!

None can beat the mighty Frank Bennett and his version of 'Creep'

Also check out his albums of cheese covers of indie sounds at

Despite being Australian, the man is akin to genius.

yes - the Paul Anka thing instantly reminded me of Frank Bennett - I didn't think anyone else would have heard of him. "Creep" was good - but genius?

Posted: **Thu Jul 14, 2005 6:54 am**

Tiny Tim's "Hey Jude" is divine.

Posted: **Thu Jul 14, 2005 7:40 am**

Oh man, thanks for that J$. Frank Bennett's awesome! Like a not-annoying Richard Cheese.

Nothing beats Leonard Nimoy's 'Ballad of Bilbo Baggins'
unless it's Shatner's 'Mr Tambourine Man'. Truth.
