Craig and Charlie who?

(Yes, yes. I know it's a different song, and (I would walk) 500 miles is original. Don't all write in)

You do realise, don't you, anything, and I mean anything I do from now on is nothing more than a desperate rearguard action?

Couple of "Dexy's" tracks:

Remember this on TOTP with a picture of Jocky Wilson behind them?

An album track so maybe not as well known

Great thread.

As this version was released after P.P. Arnold's technically it's a cover version ...... Still brilliant though .... ..... And he sold it to her for thirty quid ......

Did you not know the majority of Mistress Harworth and her merry band of troubadours finest examples of their oeuvres were covers?*

(I still prefer Blondie's versions tho'

But still. Randy and the Rainbows were honest enough to be grateful, way back when in the 1980's

I never knew, no wonder she had to do so many comebacks, obviously made nothing from royalties.

even the most unlikely ones

I prefer Lonny's voice.

What about this with the Bandits "Snowman"

its all avoiding the issue though. This is like pouring liquid chocolate into your ears

robertostallioni · February 18, 2011, 10:39:19 pm

I get it now. They should have been on the covers thread. Ok. Here we go....

This was my first vinyl musical memory, while sitting on my grandpa's knee, playing with his old 7"s.

No covers of this....flawless..

Hadn't heard this for a while, but thought I'd educate the missus a bit last night.

Also gives me the chance to use that desert emoticon for another reason (if I can find it!)

I'm coming rather late to this one, but I hated

so much that I deleted it from my music collection to avoid ever accidentally listening to it again, even though I normally like Cornershop and being from Leicester is a major point in Tijinder Singh's favour.

(Oops, this probably belongs in Worst Cover Versions)
