People Who Died (7 Viewers)

[7 - No tomorrow]

Joe Cocker and Al Green did the two best Beatles covers of all time

Not precious or overly respectful of the material

RIP

The Beatles took out a full page ad when his version was released saying " You took a sad song and made it better"

which might make you smile or throw up in your mouth

-See Joe Cocker died.
-What a fuckin’ voice.
-Ah, man - . But the best thing about him - he taught me the Beatles were shite.
-Hang on – wha’?
-Me brother – he’s three years older than me – he brought home Sergeant Pepper’s. An’ everyone in the house loved it. Me ma sang ‘When I’m 64’ and she always cried at ‘She’s Leavin’ Home’, and me sister said, ‘Don’t worry, Ma, I’ll never run away like tha’.’ But she did – to fuckin’ London. She even met a cunt from the motor trade. But that’s a different story. Anyway - .
-What’s this got to with Joe Cocker?
-I’m gettin’ there – calm down. They all loved ‘A Little Help from My Friends’ – in the house, like. Even me granny – an’ she hated fuckin’ everythin’. An’ I just thought somethin’ wasn’t right. But then he – me brother, like –he brings home Joe Cocker’s version. The single.
-Brilliant.
-No question. Brilliant. An’ me da shouts, five seconds in – ‘Turn tha’ shite down!’ An’ I knew it – in me heart. That’s the way it should be. If the oul’ lad reacts tha’ way, it’s good. If he hums along, it’s shite.

Joe Cocker's version is awful. I had actually convinced myself it was a shit song until I actually paid attention to the original. The guy was awful pub karaoke at best.

When I said 'best' I meant 'my favourite'. There is, as yet, not empirical standard for judging music.

And what's so bad about karaoke?

Karaoke is a goddamn blast.

Yeah, it is but like any drunken past-time, it doesn't make you a legend.

Drugs have a lot to answer for.

You could only say that if you haven't seen me do Semi-Charmed Life at the Courtside in Cambridge.
Ledgebaggery abounds.

Exception that proves the rule.

Haha

It only exists in legend now. Banned for repeated violation of the 'no mike drop' rule.

John Belushi is at least as good as Joe in this

Most of you guys won't know him, but I really liked this guy, an uncynical, joyful sports presenter.
