funkiest beatles cover?

Can't find a youtube of Ella Fitzgerald's 'Savoy Truffle', which is a shame, but it isn't a patch on her version of 'Sunshine of Your Love' which is absolutely awesome.

Syl Johnson's "Come Together" is great, but it's not on YouTube...

get this one out of the way

I read in Mojo's piece on the Sgt. Pepper movie that while Geoff Emerick and George Martin were recording/mixing EW&F, they looked at each other and basically said, "Fuck, if only all the other remakes we just worked on were this good!"

Area Code 615's cover of "Hey Jude," but it's not on youtube either.

Damn you YouTube and your lack of awesome tunes, Grrrrrrrrr.

O really? Well how many versions of the 'Sunshine' did Ella do then? The one on the In-Laws OST, for instance, sounded rather poor to me :/

Randy Crawford, "Don't Let Me Down"
Roy Redmond, "Good Day Sunshine"

The homemade video here is odd, but it has Assagai's awesome "Hey Jude" with it.

Count Basie's cover of Come Together is def worth seeking out, but doesn't seem to be YouTube-able.

also the mixtape it comes from probably samples a bunch of the songs in this thread

two months pass...

I'm gonna be straight up: while most of the song on this thread are pretty cool, typically Beatles covers are instant bonerkiller.

excessive youtube embeds threatening to break my comp but I'm pretty sure nobody has mentioned Grant Green's impeccably cheesy "A Day In The Life", off Green is Beautiful (Blue Note, 1970, BST 84342)

― fiscal cliff racer (bernard snowy), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 17:58 (thirteen years ago)

Wow. Wilson Pickett AND Barry Gibbs on that same tune.
