My GOD, I feel like I may die of shame!

I`m throwing up. Some things just aren`t sacred. I`m not going to continue in this thread just in case céline shows up trying to do something like The Great Deciever.

"Figurines of the Virgin Mary....."

Wonder who the Great Deceiver really is for Celine ......

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Iron Maiden also covered Jethro Tull's "Cross-Eyed Mary" - not surprising, since JT are one of Steve Harris' favourite bands.

Both Iron maiden and Helloween have done covers of Focus, Hocus Pocus and I'm sure there's more. Helloween do a kick ass version while Bruce Dickinson can't hit the highs on the yodelling so he just makes a joke out of it. But if you haven't heard Helloween's version check it out. Must be on youtube somewhere.

a cover of a Roger Waters/Ennio Morricone song, "Lost Boys Calling" by Filippa Giordano

As much as I am smitten by Miss Giordano and her Il Rosso Amore album, Roger (and Edward Van Halen) nails this one:

Speaking of Les Claypool, Fearless Flying Frog Brigade covered Animals in its entirety

The Animals cover sounds very good.

Les' Frog Brigade also covered Have A Cigar... so did the Foo Fighters. Dead

There are a couple of Heebee songs on the BBC Records release of the radio show Radioactive. (The LP hasa couple of releatively weak Phil Pope tunes. However, from the radio comedy series, my favourite was Pil Pope delicious mickey take of Squeeze's Up The Junction. Here retitled Up The Club - with lines such as "I took precautions, I gave her a false name"). We were lead to believe here in the radio station, that the follow up to Never Mind The Originals, had a court injunction slapped on it by Dire Straights within an hour of being released - so if you got a copy it is worth a few bob - just like that album which used an outrageous number of samples from Abba recordings - was that Bill Drummond's Justified Ancients of Mumu?

It was! 'The Queen And I' from 'What the F**k is Going On' sampled ABBA's 'Dancing Queen' with hilarious results, and of course they were forced to destroy the pressing, with the inevitable and desired publicity results. Ah, great times, those.

Many version of 21st Century Schizoid Man keep coming up, but Voivod's was the most spot on.

But this is fun too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWS3ofzuiMU

And here's a curious Genesis cover... Land of Confusion

Is that the magnificient Phil Pope of the Heebee Geebees doing the cover? If you can find it, seek out the Heeebee Geebee's Never Mind The Originals Here's The Heebee Geebees. Here Phil Pope well outshines Weird Al for pastiches of rock songs, e.g. Boring Song by Status Quid (pt on Status Quo), Meaningless Songs In Very High Voices (the Heebees pt on The Bee Gees)
