god only knows

[R4roger]

I cant bear this, even the first few beats.
stop it at once

is it for charity btw?

God Only Knows is such a beautiful song. The Beach Boys harmonies are just sublime.

But this piece of crap is an affront to all that is musical. May their bowels twist and their guts heave. Bad cess to them all.

Children in need night is 14th November fuckery
Think I may actually volunteer to work a night shift that night!
S club 7 are reforming for the occasion great

Oh dear, I have no idea who most of them are.

Oh and I used to like the song years ago, but noooo more
And children in need makes me cringe. The slebs are all me me me, I can't stand it. I would rather donate to a smaller charity that I can trust,

I like it.

Humph! Now you link!

It is rubbish, and indeed, all of them lining up saying look at me me MEEEE

the Brian May on the guitar bit is do incongruous.

It does not gel

Perfect day worked

This one not so much

S Club 7 are reforming? Let us all rejoice.

Bet they had loads of other job offers on the table.

Now if only Chakka Demus & Pliers could be tempted to reform too, my life would truly be complete.

It is shit. Beyond shit in fact.

I've been waiting for someone to start a thread so I can say that for 2 weeks.

The video is shit too. The Beach Boy doesn't even look surprised that there's a tiger on his piano.

The various singing parts don't fit together, and the warbling woman at the end is absurd.

Is there any piece of music Bore May hasn't played that stupid penis extension guitar on. He always looks like he thinks he's fucking Beethoven when he's playing it.

My DD's school's after school club featured and benefited last year.

Nice to read you will all plan a good bath scrub instead though

I like it

You have to admit the song is utter shit though Pumpkin

And someone needs to tell Elton his voice has gone.

I think you should tell him TSS. He'll remain calm and thank you for your kind advice....................and then batter you over the head with his diamond studded sceptre whilst screeching 'whothefuckdoyouthinkyouareiamthegreateltonjohnisangatdianasfuneralgoddamitiamanationatreasureyouarejustapleb......'

Another great song ruined (and WTAF is the otherwise wonderful Dave Grohl doing getting involved with this rubbish?).

But it's not as bad as Ali Campbell's version of "I want you" - as played incessantly on Radio 2 . Bob Dylan is well within his rights to hire a hitman.

Chandon beat me to it. Perfect Day worked, this one doesn't.

I will Squoosh. I shall remind him I have seen him live 4 times, and on none of those occasions did I think my dad had taken to the stage.

I shall also take the chance to advise him against that ill-considered do he now sports. It looks like an auburn hat. It is not good.

And I'll put my neck on the block by saying his rendition at Diana's funeral was a new low point on the Funeral Music Song List.

Yes, give his little ginger rug a tug and say 'this looks a bit silly doesn't it Elt?'. Maybe add in a 'lol' for extra hilarity.

David Furnish will find it hilarious too as he carries the tanrumming Elton out of the room.

Poor David Furnish.

Just watched it, it just sort of plodded along and like a lot of ultra expensive productions, just didn't have any soul.

I have a question though, who was the opera ish woman on a fairground horse near the beginning, and who was the man up a ladder.

One positive though, I enjoyed seeing Chrissie Hynde again, I miss her voice.

Thank you. It is now going round in my head and will continue to do so for the rest of the day

always a pleasure

I dont have a view on the song. It seems a bit churlish to slate it when it is for a good cause tbh.

Brian May always fab imo.

However, there's a young lady near the beginning who sings 'I'll make you so sore about it.'

This version of God Only Knows is terrible. The Beach Boys original isn't much better. Neil Diamond made a pretty good fist of the song in 1977. It might be on YouTube.

Speaking of charity records, it's almost thirty years since the 'king ' of them all appeared...

Don't worry -- it's not for a good cause: it's publicising the launch of BBC music.

I hate this version of the song and the video -- but David Bowie did a cracking version, one of the small list of records where the cover is better than the original.
