Unless you were on about something else?

Nope, that's the one. I just don't like the way pretty much every song from the 80s will soon be only remembered as some rip-off by DJ Twatface or someone. I mean, even "Bette Davis Eyes" got the remix treatment.

That wasn't exactly a remix, the Mylo choon was just based on it. You can still listen to the Kim Carnes original without thinking of Mylo unlike the original Dr Beat by Miami "Gloria" Sound "Estefan" Machine where it now sounds weak compared with Dr Pressure. Grrrrah!!!

Sorry I've got the 12" Miami "Gloria" Sex "Estefan" Machine
& totally disagree

Pobbie · April 7th, 2006, 03:58 AM

I also totally disagree!

Butterfield · April 7th, 2006, 05:16 AM

Uh uh uh! Mylo "filled" out the song, adding a new dimension to it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't.

Pobbie · April 7th, 2006, 07:21 AM

Yes, and I happen to think it doesn't work. It's called an opinion.

Robbie Williams - Freedom.

Well he did write the song, so fair play to him.

The 'Adamski' version was just Adamski playing keyboards for Seal.

Whereas the cover just highlighted Robbie's lack of singing ability...

Marylin Manson did a cover of Another Brick in The Wall part 2 as part of the soundtrack for the Faculty. Its not bad but nothing compared to the original.

Micheasl Jackson did a cover of Come Together: Not good.

CharlieP · April 7th, 2006, 01:43 PM

Not very tactful either

Just think of a bearded Aussie, with a wobble board and no other instruments, singing that guitar classic. It makes me want to hurt things

Bikkel · April 7th, 2006, 03:45 PM

I knew he was up to no good but had no idea he mangled about every classic track from ther sixties and seventies. Well, he gets a bit of his own treat on that Shitmat project, called "Rolf' on Wrong Records.

Confession time - I heard this version long before the original and quite liked it. Can you people ever forgive me? I was only 10 or 11 at the time!
