I Want To Hold Your Hand

or

gee, I wonder

That ain't that fuckin' hard...

Lakeside BITCH!

^

I hope you're joking

Like Prince , The Beatles should really never ever be covered by anyone , it just very rarely works at all , imho , besides there's no use in covering perfection

The only Beatles cover i can really dig is Joe Cocker's With A Little Help....

No doubt it is well remade and the dudes can sang. But it reminds me of putting rhinestones and glitter on 501's, or a fancy duck sauce instead of ketchup for your fries, yeah someone might be able to pull it off,... but nahh.

It reminds me of this atrocity on another thread.

lol I've seen folks do Beatles songs better than the Beatles.

I actually can't stand "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". But Lakeside sure put some doo-wop styled shit on it (though the '80s production was iffy lol)

I LOVE Marvin and Donny's covers of "Yesterday". Tina Turner took "Come Together" into some other realm and never returned it.

Of course Joe Cocker's version of "With a Little Help" kicks some major ass (don't like the original of that either).

"LAKEMcFuckingSIDE you bloody tosser!"

I barely remember this from back in the day, but it is aswesome. But as a song for the Beattles it feels more at home in their catalog to me.

"I LOVE Marvin and Donny's covers of "Yesterday". Tina Turner took "Come Together" into some other realm and never returned it." Echo that.

(Everyone is turning in a great prase. "A+."

Tina for a pre-new year thrill.

^^ You British?

I saw Lakeside do this in concert a few years back and I actually enjoyed it.

Lakeside for me.

I actually can't stand "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". So saying Lakeside had the better version wasn't exactly no compliment (though my dad liked that version lol).

I love Michael Jackson's version of Come Together. I've never heard Tina's, I'll have to take a listen.

Lakeside by far!

And don't forget Earth, Wind, and Fire's version of "Got To Get You Into My Life".

Lakeside by a landslide.

And Stevie's version of We Can Work It Out beats the shit out of the Beatles version.

I played both versions back to back one day. I was when I heard the original but was when Stevie's came on...

Thats what you say.

I say, to hell with all the blind idolization, it has been documented in wax that there're MANY great and superior attempts of Beatles remakes.

George Benson remade this on his new album Guitar Man.

There must be a template somewhere. A used, beat up old stencil for that rigid smooth jazz formula that people must never deviate from. It gets passed around like a joint or a hooker. From Kenny G, to George Benson to Dave Koz, David Sanborn, and finally back to Kenny G. Like a lurid underground network to that big dentist and elevator money. But I do like it. It keeps the voices in check.

Some people don't like change, the audience wants what they like. Smooth jazz sells the way it is, why fix it?

And let's not forget Tina's astonishing cover of "Help", in which she received assistance from Joe Sample and the Crusaders. One of my favorite Tina songs! And Chaka's reading of "We Can Work It Out". Incredible!

[Edited 12/26/11 17:12pm]

^ True. I love Tina's cover. And Chaka... ooh wee!

No offense to the Beatles. But, after I heard Tina and Chaka's respective covers, they made me totally forget about the originals.

Yeah I didn't even know the Beatles did "Help" first when I heard Tina's version lol as for "We Can Work It Out", Chaka and Stevie make you forget they did it first too.

My vote goes to Lakeside. It's amazing how they turn a Beatles classic into a Quiet Storm-bound bedroom anthem.
