Yes buries the simple tune of "Every Little Thing" under ridiculous prog arrangements as the song's celebratory hopes for eternal happiness lurch gloriously toward self-parody and squiggly keyboards. Philips' Beatles cover benefits from its restraint, but excess isn't always a bad thing. The Beatles admired her version enough to bring her out to perform in England. Paul sounds a little stiff and a little saccharine on the original, but Phillips rectifies those lapses, singing with such grace that her confidence sounds like wisdom rather than a jingle. This one is great, though replacing the band with a simple guitar backing gives Winehouse's voice room to sell the song. There are some dreadful soul/jazz versions of Lennon-McCartney - Sarah Vaughan's Beatles tribute is worse than you'd think anything by Sarah Vaughan could possibly be. Robbed of every iota of aggressiveness, the song actually becomes creepier the big beat of teen consummation sliding toward a barren, looming twee. Wray turns cheer to menace Daniel Johnston goes the other way around and replaces Paul's lascivious Little-Richard "oooo" with naif vulnerability. Neanderthal garage rocker Link Wray takes a smiling, happy early Beatles single, clubs it with an ax, and splits it open to reveal the grease and switchblades in its interior.ĭaniel Johnston, "I Saw Her Standing There" These are the best ones I could find, though. So, I won't say that the songs below are the 30 best Beatles covers, because I don't think anyone has listened to, or even could listen to, all the Beatles covers. But it doesn't take long poking around YouTube to figure out that even these exercises in obsessive uber-completeness are the tip of an enormous iceberg. Both Wikipedia and the Covers Project have lists that can give you some sense of the extent to which everyone and their mother and their poodle is out there covering the Beatles. If the Beatles fell out of bed and jangled a nearby guitar, you can pretty much bet that there is a Britpop, a rock, a soul and a country cover of that random jangle.
