For me it is Disturbed's version of Sound of Silence.

I love S and G version, even though I'm a metal head. I love Disturbed even though Dave Draiman can be a bit of a tool and ha e seen them live about 8 times but this cover is just over produced and overplayed. I think it got them a temporary new following of middle aged women! (No shade at middle aged women, I am one myself, well middle aged plus).but the people I saw at the gigs after this song was realeased weren't Disturbed fans!

Mr Brightside.

This. And “the sex is on fire” , “Chelsea dagger” and “I predict a riot “ which are of a similar ilk. Ugh

Oh no. The joke hasn’t landed.

in Scotland people usually sing that instead of “so good, so good”

😂 totally went over my head!

@Rainbow1901 needs to listen to the white stripes version. Excellent cover though I like both😁

I agree it is good. I draw the line at the Miley Cyrus version

I hate, knights in White satin, it is supposed to be a classic but it makes me shudder.

is it not nights? Or have I.got that wrong. I assumed satin sheets ? Not men wearing white satin frocks on horseback.

Simply The Best! - Tina Turner

Yes! Hate it. Also hate the Ike and Tina Turner version of Proud Mary. Urgh. Other Tina songs I am fine with.

Has Justin Timberlake been mentioned yet?

His whiny voice makes me want to put my head through a wall.

Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond)
Hey Jude (The Beatles)
Mr Brightside (Killers)

Not that I ever thought too deeply about it, but I always assumed it was knights 🤣

I pictured a guy riding in on horses dressed in white satin to rescue his lady friend because white satin was romantic or something 🤣

Every day is a learning day.

Tina’s “The Best” has been high jacked by Rangers fans unfortunately.

Absolutely anything 'sung' by James Arthur, just dreadful 😞

Giddykiddy · 09/11/2025 19:06

Don't like anything by Adele or Taylor Swift. Most hated song is I will always love you by Whitney
