I actually like that cover, it shouldn't be judged too harshly because it was MEANT to be kind of... erm... strange. That's like dissing Weird Al for not showing artistic growth or something. Come on. Billy Shat did a good job.
Eleanor Rigby by Godhead is truly embarrasing though. Metal bands shouldn't be allowed to play songs the quality of Lennon/McCartney tunes.

not completely true.
Shatner did mean that quite seriously at the time. problem was letting songs that hang heavily on melody being sung by someone who can NOT sing.

Here's the full list:
''1. William Shatner - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds; - 2. Pinky & Perky - All My Loving; 3. Will Young & Gareth Gates - The Long and Winding Road; 4. Damon Hill - Drive My Car; 5. Bananarama with French & Saunders - Help!; 6. Jim Carrey - I Am the Walrus; 7. Wet Wet Wet - With A Little Help From My Friends; 8. Suggs - I'm Only Sleeping; 9. PM Dawn - Norwegian Wood; 10. Candy Flip - Strawberry Fields Forever.''
I've only heard Shatner's (who hasn't) and Jim Carrey's I am the Walrus... yeah, it's bad. Very... bad. I have hundreds of Beatles covers yet only TWO of these. *hangs head in shame

theres this shocking cover of 'across the universe' by some chick, and it gets played on woolworths radio all the time.
and she goes overboard improvising on the 'deva ah ah ah ah ah ohmm'
anyway a gay colleague of mine says one time it was playing 'turn down ya dildo honey'
i thought it was very funny.
