Songs that should never be covered.

[Jah Womble]

Can't really imagine a worthwhile cover of Autobahn.

That I would like to hear. (Or any cover, tbh.)

With the proviso that I could switch it off within thirty seconds, of course.

[Stumpy Pepys]

Can't really imagine a worthwhile cover of Autobahn.

This one's good.

[Satchmo Distel]

Hang on, Party Fears Two has just popped up on shuffle on my phone. Pretty relevant for here.

A decent cover by B.E.F. featuring Glenn Gregory IMHO:

Oh, that is good. I can think of a couple of other ways to cover that but “reverse-covering” it in the style of the Beach Boys (I know again) would be good

Afraid I don't agree. It's that stripped-down, slowed-down, plinky piano that's the bane of so many bad covers and as much as I like Glenn, he's no Billy.

Can't imagine anyone covering "God Only Knows". But they probably have.

[Amor de Cosmos]

There's quite a few. Petra Haden's acapella version is nice:

Betty Everett also did a version which, sadly, doesn't do it for me I'm afraid.

[adams house cat]

Thanks Amor. Remembered that I had heard the Betty Everett before. The Petra Haden was new to me.

[Stumpy Pepys]

I know G-Man's put together some good playlists, but most Beatles covers if you ask me.
