Michael Jackson covering “Come Together .” Not a bad cover, but I’m experiencing a bit of cognitive dissonance with the combination of Beatle song, hip thrusts and vinyl pants.
Also: Sean spotting.

Reminds me of the Come Together cover by J-LO and Mary J Blige. Not sure what is worse, their rendition or their wardrope.

Pretty bad rendition, but honestly, I really like the organ and guitar at the start.

Offline Just believe that someone somewhere who heard that went and found the Beatles original, discovered talent, and is now listening to Pepper blazing out with a smile on their face.
Its all we have.

First and foremost, I’m a fan of the harder rock variety but still a huge Beatles nut. Right now, a band named Koritni is dominating my iPod. They originate from down under but are currently spending a lot of time in France (where they’re gaining a lot of popularity) and the continent. They’ve got a cover of Got To Get You Into My Life on iTunes (which I liked). The video is from some bar/club and is fan-shot. The sound quality isn’t that great, but…

Offline Sandy Farina’s cover of Strawberry Fields Forever on the movie Sgt. Pepper . Not a bad version, just lacks the natural quality of John on the original.

No, no, don’t apologize. It’s in the so bad it’s good category.

Offline I can’t find a link for a video, but the band Atom And His Package (known for tongue-in-cheek covers at times) has a track called P.P. (doo-doo) which is a cover of Polythene Pam , followed by someone starting to sing (off key) “She Came In Through The Bathroom Window ” at which point Atom says “shut up” and the song ends. I can’t call it good, but it’s good in a bizarre way.

Offline The Michael Jackson cover of “Come Together ” was remarkably straight — to the extent that it worked, all thanks should go to the genius of Paul & John.
It puts me in mind of an interesting imaginary cover: Prince doing “Come Together “…
