Title: Beatles songs by other singers
Post by: Jane on September 24, 2008, 08:02:02 PM
Are there any Beatles songs better sung by other singers? KEyes has posted a video where Franz Ferdinand sings It Won`t Be Long. I can`t say I like it. In fact, I don`t like their singing at all. What terrible voices and the style is wooden.

Have you heard George Michael singing A Long and Winding Road? A lot of people believe that his version is much better than the Beatles`. It is kind of accepted truth. Though I disagree with this point of view. I`ve listened to him singing the song and NO. Maybe it is because I don`t like him?

Haven't heard it.  But I don't like that song anyways.  I will see if I can find it, and see if it's any better.

I hate most covers, especially by female singers, but I thought Alanis Morissette did an amazing job at singing Dear Prudence. She doesn't have that annoying breathing baby voice most girl singers go for. Her voice is powerful. And it seems like she actually has an appreciation for the music.

As for Ozzy singing In My Life, obviously his voice isnt up to par for that song.  But I think he did it because I read somewhere that he is a huge Beatles fan, and I think I may have even read that when he first got into music, he wanted a band like them.  Someone correct me if I am wrong.

And I will say I really like Alanis' version of Dear Prudence.  I don't care for that song, but I think she did a great job, I enjoyed listening to it!

Ozzy is a huge fan of the Beatles. I saw him on Howard Stern once when Paul was supposed to appear on the show and he met him in the hallway and was just star struck. I tried to find it on youtube, but no luck.

Right now, my all-time favorite Beatles cover is "A Day in the Life" by Ramallah. It's a hardcore/metal version, it's really heavy and it has some disturbing lyrical changes so I bet most of you will hate it... But I think it's amazing how they managed to make it sound natural as a hardcore/metal song while staying relatively faithful to the original version...

I wasn't sure whether to bump this or start a new topic called "Favorite Covers of Beatles Songs". I'll leave that up to the Mod Squad. ;) Anyway, I don't think this is a better version of "In My Life" but it's definitely my favorite cover of it:

Joan Baez's version of Let It Be is my favourite cover of a Beatles song I think, I feel like she really understood the intent of the song. I tend to like her interpretations of her contemporary's music because she tends to actually try to express the message ofthe song rather than just pay tribute to it like a lot of artists

I like it too and so did John:

"When John Lennon knocked on her dressing room door at the 1974 Grammy Awards, it was to tell Anne that her hit, "You Won't See Me", was his favourite cover version of a Beatles song."

I haven't heard it either but I do have a Cheap Trick EP with "Day Tripper" on it. I always liked it and since I hadn't heard it in years it was the first thing I played when a got my turntable last summer. So there I was, all excited to hear it again and when it started I thought, "I don't remember the tempo being that fast". As soon as the vocal started I realized that I was playing it on the wrong speed.  ;D  Even after I corrected that I found that I didn't like it as much as I used to. I guess I'm not the Cheap Trick fan I once was.

I can only ever think of two Beatles songs done better by someone else.

The first is Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas' much livelier, tighter version of "Do You Want To Know A Secret?":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX3ADWQw2iw# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX3ADWQw2iw#)

The second is "Dear Prudence" by Siouxsie & The Banshees who deliver a deliciously creepy rendition which I think eclipses the insipid, wispy original:
