Cover Versions - Part 3

Poking at covers of Billy Joel's New York State of Mind earlier with skalja has prompted me to revive my "great and… not so great cover versions" feature again.

Previous entries saw stuff like Lady gaga covered by Faith No More, the Theme from Shaft played on ukuleles, rockabilly ACDC, a cappella Nirvana, Marillion covering Britney Spears and more…

• 10:26 It's kinda interesting to see just how quickly someone can plunge in my estimation. Brb, off to comic store to cancel subscriptions. #
• 10:48 Was out all day yesterday. It's a scorcher today, but I have work to do. Why do I feel vaguely guilty about not spending the day outside? #
• 14:31 My dramatic gesture of canceling certain comics off my pull list was spoiled by the fact that LCS guy hadn't put them on in the first place. #
• 14:38 I did drop Daredevil and New Mutants, though, which I bought but haven't read in months, and replaced with Young Allies and Heralds. #
• 15:53 Look, England's defending is terrible, Germany are deservedly in the lead. But, even so... I'm staggered by that disallowed goal. #
• 16:34 It that goal hadn't been disallowed, it would have been a completely different game. For a start, we'd have been beaten 4-2 instead. #
• 22:34 I haven't reviewed last week's Dr Who yet because I wanted to judge the finale as a whole. Now I've seen it, I want to watch again to decide #
• 22:52 Another review for my play, saying I "conveyed the disturbing (and disturbed) teenager Alfred with wide-eyed and frightening intensity". #
• 22:53 I wasn't playing a teenager at all, but I'll take the indirect compliment, thank you very much. #
