I just went and downloaded Octopus' Garden, and... it beats Ob La by quite a fair bit. Did Ringo write it? Cause that explains it.
Wrote it and sung it. Poor bastard should have kept to drumming and narrating Thomas the Tank Engine.
I've never heard that cover, so I'll have to check it out.
Hideous. You know how fast parts of that song are song? Miss Lavigne butchers them like a pro. It's live, admittedly, and at least she has the good grace to collapse into laughter and say "I am so fucking sorry" at the end. It still stands as definitely the worst cover version in the universe, as, unlike William Shatners version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, it is neither funny nor a cult classic.
While we're on the Beatles, I find the acoustic version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps to be massively better than the regular version.
That song is just a great song. Although, I gotta say my favourite version is probably the cover by the Jeff Healey Band. Is that heresy? Probably.
