Big Fat End of Year Cover Song Challenge - VOTING CLOSED

[Skol303]

As is now tradition, we’re ending the year with a Basschat Cover Song Challenge: a selection of songs, all mercilessly butchered beautifully interpreted by members of this ‘ere community.

If you ever needed an excuse to don a pair of headphones and blissfully ignore your relatives for half an hour over the Christmas period… This. Is. It. Listen at your leisure and then vote for your top three favourites:

 

Dad3353 ‘Paradise Circus Waltz’ (original by The Alligators)

MoonBassAlpha ‘Driving Aloud (Radio Storm)’ (original by Robyn Hitchcock)

fingers211 ‘Silver Metropolitan Astronut’ (original by Neil Innes)

christofloffer ‘Spinning Away’ (original by John Cale & Brian Eno)

Voting ends at midnight on New Year’s Eve.

I have been working on a Latin version of Bach's second Cello concerto all month. The themes are all written out but it is too complicated for me to play and my PC is playing up and I couldn't record it in sections so I didn't enter it. Sorry guys. I bit off more than I could chew!!

How can I vote for 3?  I only got 1 vote

As ever some great recordings here.  A pleasant way to spend some time this morning whilst waiting for my grown up family to wake up! 

[Oopsdabassist]

haha ditto!!

I'm in one of those post christmas- food-and-drink comas

 

[TorturedSaints]

Happy Christmas to all and thanks for the music! A great selection of songs here as ever.

Be fair; he used to frequent rave parties and EDM houses. Got off lightly, I reckon.

Looks like mine and xgsjx's offerings fell firmly in the "mercilessly butchered"category ... so far!...

Don’t sweat it  ...both nice tracks and very few people have voted so far.

Hopefully we’ll get some more as people start getting bored of TV and want something to do with their hands other than bring turkey sandwiches to their mouths.

Indulge yourself with the Basschat End of Year Cover Song Challenge... “because you’re worthless”.

Remind me again; you're not a marketing man, are you..? No..? Thought not. 

[Skol303]

Dammit! Freudian slip... “worth it”... definitely “Because you’re worth it”

[lurksalot]

Someone sent lurky a 3 year old for Christmas ?

[lurksalot]

He's only 2 

but just like the daughter , prefers a nice big box to play with rather than the toys that came in it 

[fleabag]

And who wouldn't ?  Big boxes are fun  

[MoonBassAlpha]

Careful now!

[Mornats]

Absolutely loved your cover Lurks! That made me grin from ear to ear

[lowdown]

Voted. Well done all.
