Somewhere in my vault of musical oddities and rarities, I have a recording of Trent Reznor (pre NIN) doing a cover of Falco's "Der Kommissar" and another Euro pop song.

Somewhere in my vault of musical oddities and rarities, I have a recording of Trent Reznor (pre NIN) doing a cover of Falco's "Der Kommissar" and another Euro pop song.

I just had to look...

Trent Reznor doing The Thompson Twins' Lies...NO WAYYYYYYYY.

The Mad Hatter mentioned Jeff Lynne's version of Xanadu which I do have on cd, it is an interesting version after hearing Olivia's version which has ELO doing the backing, I love Olivia singing the main bit but hearing ELO in the back ground gives the song such a beautiful kick along. Jeff's solo version is good, just a bit different.
Here is another good cover of Xanadu

A bit of an Olivia theme coming up here.
George Harrison's version is the best but Olivia's version got a lot of air play at the time and I think she does it a great justice.

 

[horrie hastings]

Anyone Who Had A Heart.
This is the best version of this classic song I have heard.

 

[horrie hastings]

Sherbet do this brilliant song justice, just a shame there is no proper clip of it.

 

[horrie hastings]

Dazza does a great version of this classic.

 

[horrie hastings]

Keith Hampshire's version of The First Cut Is the Deepest, so much better than Cat Steven's and Rod Stewart's version. Again no proper film clip.

 

[horrie hastings]

Trent Reznor doing The Thompson Twins' Lies...NO WAYYYYYYYY.

Wow that is a great version of Lies Lies Lies

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Until today I never thought I'd put Thompson Twins and NII/I Trent Reznor in the same sentence.

And I'm a huge TT fan to boot so this was just an amazing find.

Blancmange's cover of ABBA's The Day Before You Came.

Anyone Who Had A Heart.
This is the best version of this classic song I have heard.

That quote holds true for anything Olivia Newton-John sings.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I'm a fan of both bands - the original Alphaville and the Aussie band that covered this song, Youth Group (who are currently recording a new album after a 10 year hiatus.)

Kim Wilde giving Diana Ross and the Supremes You Keep Me Hanging On an 80's twist.
