Youtube cover versions

You know how it is, you're supremely talented but just too damn special to even get onto X- factor. So what do you do? Simply broadcast your extraordinary gift via Youtube instead. It usually goes something like this: 'I was bored so here's a video of me doing 'Enter Sandman' on my clarinet, will somebody give me a thousand pounds please?' It would just be too easy to put the five most hideous offerings up here, so instead I set myself the task of finding ten genuinely excellent cover versions out there in the ether. Not to get all Victoria Wood on you but I really have never seen so many untidy bedrooms and nasty pelmets in my life. Anyway, God himself couldn't find ten outstanding covers on there so here's five, and don't think they were easy to come by. Enjoy ...

'Boxing' by Ben Folds Five

'Fox in the Snow' by Belle & Sebastian


'Hometown Glory' by Adele


'Babooshka' by Kate Bush


'Motion Picture Soundtrack' by Radiohead

The Holy Grail

I wouldn't normally post between posts so to speak but I've managed to find it, that elusive, near-mythical treasure: the funniest thing on the internet. Approach this with extreme caution. Move all hot beverages out of the way. And dont skimp, you need to watch right to the end because just when you think it can't get any better, they raise the bar. Is it the humpingly bad dance moves? Her flat ogre singing voice? Or could it be the presence of the two hair queens ninnying about the place that makes this such a singular accomplishment? You decide. God, I love youtube.
