Actually it does make sense when you realize that the movie plays most (if not all) of the songs from the Abbey Road album. Mean Mr. Mustard is one I remember particularly well. I also remember liking the Aerosmith cover, although I thought it was very strange.

I actually watched that movie in the theater when it came out. I cringed throughout the movie. Disco-ized Beatles. Ugh! I haven’t seen that movie in 30 years. My skin is thicker now so I’m curious if the movie is as bad as I remember it. I think I’ll NetFlix it.

If I wake up one day, find that I’m five years old and discover I’m reliving my life, I’m going to learn to play the accordion, call myself Weird Charles and play a cover of “Another one bites the dust” on the Tomorrow show with Tom Synder. I love the energy Weird Al puts into all his songs, it’s something that can’t be beat. All of the Weird Al covers are better then the originals.

1. I agree 100% about Orgy’s version of “Blue Monday” – a good song made great.

2. On that note, it’s your list and all, and it’s getting near the end, but I’m going to be a little shocked if there’s no similar comparison of the different versions of “Sweet Jane” done by Velvet Underground and the Cowboy Junkies. Even Lou Reed himself says he likes the Junkies’ version better.

Also, don’t forget Marilyn Manson’s cover of Rock and Roll N***ER and I Put a Spell on You in his list of covers. They are much better than his newer covers and from the same album as Sweet Dreams.
