The first 'pub band' to appear on ToTP, are harbinger of Punk.

Seems to be a series; a whole slew of covers done in opposite styles.




The original is so infectious with that reggae lope...the cover don't cut it.

John Farnham's Help. Far better than the Beatles.

@Robert Gentel,
I know this one might not be valid but my boyfriend sang just like a woman and it really sounded better then bob's . Does normal people count or must it be a famous band?

You have the right to your own opinion. If you think your boyfriend's version is better then the original then ... well that's your prerogative.

Mentioning it here isn't going to make it some kind of validated fact. Everyone's post here involves subjectivity.

Do you perchance have a video of your boyfriend singing said song?

Quite possible. Farmerman has many. many talents. He is admired everywhere.
