Bowie has been sullied [sad]

I thought the Charmed theme tune was appalling. It's a cover of How Soon is Now by The Smiths. I love The Smiths. Truely love them. It's awful.

I am watching Made in Chelsea. They are all so lovely and shiny and rich. I feel dirty after watching but heyho.

However, tonight I heard the MOST FOUL THING EVER. It was the vilest thing. However, I am drunk as my birthday and have immediately forgotten which song was sullied.

I think it may have been Ashes to Ashes or I just can't remember. It was sung in a twisty, whiny voice (some may say Bowie. I, of course, would not) and was just FUCKING AWFUL. Why? Just why?

Did anyone else hear this travesty? While I can't remember I know I am upset Grin/Sad.

Happy birthday!!! The only acceptable Bowie cover is Nirvana's unplugged cover of 'The Man who Sold the World'

Leave one foot on the floor pet, it helps with the spinney. Happy Birthday.

The charmed theme is used pretty much wherever there is a witch

Is that "I am as drunk as my birthday"? Because it should be, what a brilliant phrase :o

Happy birthday, my gift to you is to not make you suffer the god awful cover again. It was of Let's Dance I think.

The only person allowed to cover Bowie is Cdr Chris Hadfield singing Space Oddity in the ISS. Gavel.
