Yes, this isn't for everyone but some of you may like it...Don't give me too much of a hard time if you don't. I'm a mainly Neo-Prog nut of some 35 years and a month or so ago started doing ATROCIOUS Cockney style covers..basically I'm too rubbish to do them straight.. wrong words, unrehearsed gibberish strewn total b******s..BUT people love them, including the artists..Fish shared his and got 5,000 views, and Andy from Twelfth Night, IQ, Euan Lowson, Comedy of Errors, Solstice, Haze and Pendragon, are all huge 'fans'..

That's a BRILLIANT take on it.. I love Brent but it's not an impression...that'd be tragic..when The Office came out loads of mates went ''Bloody Hell, that's exactly like Dave''...Can I nick that,Richard?

I'm sure it's been done before but probably not in a while.

There are so many bad album covers out there we could have a field day - I have a couple of accounts on my Twitter who specialise in posting them.

OMG ! That sounds like a really bad Klaus Nomi Impersonation. Ooh Aah, Ooh Aah indeed.
At least they got their name right. LOSERS.
But it does make me think...
What would a Klaus Nomi cover of ITCOTCK sound like?
I'm guessing it would have been awesome.

^That band(the losers)was actually Howard Stern's band or at least they had some kind of connection with him. I believe that was even Howard Stern singing. That was recorded live on his show and you can even hear Robin laughing a little bit and saying "there they are the losers" at the end.

There's something so comedically genius about the intentional mediocrity of these renditions. Sometimes I can't tell if it's a character, but I know exactly what you are aiming for with this video series and I want MORE. I'm the one who's been leaving comments on what I'd love to hear next! Can we expect "A Little Too Close to the Edge There, Mate"?
