All shite to begin with, much improved by bombastic silliness...

Laibach - Let It Be
(I hate the Beatles)

Laibach - Final Countdown (Europe)



Laibach - Opus Dei (Life is Life by Opus)



Laibach - The Sound Of Music

Laibach - Sympathy For The Devil (Rolling Stones, though I don't mind the original)

After listening the Laibach Let it Be, I understand why you hate Beatles.

I love the Beatles - but one of the good "better than" version candidate is this one.
(The irony is, of course, that Ray Charles Georgia On My Mind, inspired McCartney writing the Yesterday. Even to chord progress of the Yesterday follows very much the GOMM. Charles piece was played to Paul by the Ashers, when he lived in their house.

some of these videos are funny as f*ck - but I'm not able to see all of them, I'm guessing because of regional restrictions (I'm in [mostly] sunny California)

Some of The Beatles songs reimagined are X'd out, as an example.

[Karbon L. Forms]

Beatles (or the record company) are 'heavy blockers' (according to youtuber Rick Beato who desperately wants to do analysis videos)

[Harry_HH]

If the Ray Charles Yesterday is blocked to you by Youtube, go e.g. to the Spotify (if you are interested in).

Ray made it through - Get Back & Final Countdown did not -

I had a problem getting the Devo/no satisfaction video link posted yesterday - ended up just using a video with the album cover pictured. It might be that some videos you can only watch if you're on Youtube (or spotify, etc)

pet shop boys - always on my mind.

The one by Radiohead is great too but this version by New Order is the one I heard first and got so used to.

The drums in the original version sounds great but I can't understand one word of what Ian Curtis is singing. Or is that Peter Hook singing and not Ian Curtis? Super-mumbly. Bob Dylan sings much clearer compared.

[harryupbabble]

I'm not sure about this one. The original is good too. At first I didn't know that it is a cover, I thought it is the original.

I found out that the original is by the Kinks but the Jam's version is "slightly" better. They improvised just a tiny bit by adding the word "Oi".

[harryupbabble]

It's not really a cover but it's a great semi-ripoff?

[harryupbabble]

Wowie, that's enjoyable, the energy level is much better than the original. Sounds a lot like Metallica? Is it blasphemy to make that conclusion?

The one there is the rehearsal version.

It's Bernard Sumner who sings the New Order version on 'Movement' you might be thinking of;
