I think Slade went one better than Rosco on this one.

Rosco Gordon original, "Just a Little Bit":



Slade cover:

That dude from Slade on the bottom right of that cover should be shot dead by fashion police.

:laughing:

That's Dave Hill - whose "fringe" always reminds me of how my mother put scotch tape across my bangs (as a straight edge) when I was a child and cut them too short.

What is it with parents not only being incompetent barbers but reckless and impatient ones too?

Exactly! Your Mom must've had a hard time cutting and stylin' those luxurious locks of yours. :love:

The Batlord 10-07-2021 06:56 PM

She managed to be very quick. :mad:

Yes hands up done some real bad hair fringe cuts once or twice on the little people.
Going back to 17th Century, Barbers were trained to do minor Operations and were in fact fully trained by the Guildhall records, named Barbers/Surgeons and some went on to be wig makers as well as they were the height of Fashion...was wigs..

Apologies if this has already been done, but I prefer Harry Nilsson's cover of Badfinger's Without You (though the original is still quite good).





Nilsson was one of those artists whose covers were usually better than the original.

DianneW 10-10-2021 03:41 AM


Cover by the under- rated Violent Femmes

Really Quite different but...Moi go for the cover


rubber soul 10-10-2021 04:46 AM

Then again, harry Nilsson has some of his own songs covered (and his versions tend to be better too)




Plankton 10-10-2021 06:27 AM

Messin with Bob v.5246. I don't know about better, but Kenny puts his stank on it:

rubber soul 10-12-2021 04:35 PM

I don't know if it's better, but it's pretty damned good


DriveYourCarDownToTheSea 10-12-2021 10:36 PM

Had never heard that version before, definitely a interesting rendition.

Here is a cover that's better than the original .... and so different from the original it's amazing they're actually the same song.

The original ...



This is the version that turned it into a hit. Been covered a zillion times by now.


DianneW 10-13-2021 08:21 AM

ribbons 10-13-2021 02:16 PM

I prefer Marianne Faithfull's version of "Madame George" to Van's original.

Original:



Faithfull cover:


DianneW 10-13-2021 04:22 PM

I was never a big fan of this old song until I heard this cover:

Gary Shearston - I Get a Kick Out of You (1974)


Psychedelic Revolution 10-14-2021 03:05 AM

Far more atmospheric with a less is more approach (bass+vocals) than the original by Serge.

I guess the thumbs up emoji indicates you liked it. What's your opinion of the two versions you posted? I can't say I enjoyed that Jamie Cullum version.

None really to be honest..like Jamie Cullum in small doses but dont listen to him hardly ever...talented but not into his jazzy styles..
Have a huge spectrum though...


I take that....

emoj as a kind of look/see here...

Alicia's nod back to Bob Dylan. From the Muscle Shoals documentary which was also a good watch.

DianneW 10-21-2021 03:16 PM

Christ. I've had a crush on that woman since Fallin' and she's still got it. Really underappreciated talent out there.

SGR 10-22-2021 09:42 PM

Do we have a "remixes" that are better than the original thread? if not, I gotta start that thread

DianneW 10-25-2021 02:52 AM
