I was in a band in about 1988/9 that did a cover of a Zodiac Mindwarp song. I have never heard the original and I never really knew what the song was called. It’s been bugging me for years! This is the first time I have ever come across anyone that even knows of the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't know it, check out Backseat Education. The lyrics are the height of parody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were great, saw them live a couple of times, was rather taken aback at the first gig when they did a cover of George Michaels I’m Your Man.

Great band, semi parody or serious who knows, superb debut album bot a dud track on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFereday Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I think Cradle of Filth (or as I like to call them, Bucket of Shite) did some truly awful covers. They even covered a Cliff Richards song. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I think Joe Bonamassa's cover of Tim Curry's Sloe Gin, although not in itself that bad, lacks the poignancy and pathos of the original. Making the lyric 'family friendly' kind of misses the point, I think, and his assumed, pseudo-gravelly singing tends to grate on my nerves after a while.

Their version of Stay is particularly good, as is their version of Iron Maiden’s Hallowed Be Thy Name. I genuinely can’t wait to see what Cradle and Ed Sheeran have cooked up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBollock Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Damian’s version of The Time Warp makes my eye twitch. The song is bad enough, but he is the cause of everyone, everywhere, that has gone to a wedding reception in the last 33 years, getting the dance wrong!

Benjamin Bassoon Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I would have liked the Chuckle Brothers to have done a cover of Joe Cocker's You Are So Beautiful to Me (to you, to me, to you, to me, to you). 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at a wedding reception once where you had to walk down five or six steps to get into the room. I was returning from a trip to the toilet and was at the top of the steps, when I noticed my parents right at the front of the crowd doing the Timewarp. They were the only ones in the room who didn't know it. 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
