    valerie by amy winehouse is arguably the best cover of all time. I feel like so many people don’t even realize it’s a cover to begin with 😅

    • @cherryoghaze
      @cherryoghaze Год назад +8

      Have you gotten the chance to partake of the ('68 Version)? I daresay it surpasses the original cut by a fair measure.

    • @cjlister8508
      @cjlister8508 Год назад +4

      Valerie is notable for two misconceptions: 1. That its not an original and is in fact a cover, and 2. That its actually by Mark Ronson and only featuring Amy Winehouse.

    All Star by Smash Mouth, probably one of the most famous covers in history at this point in time.
    Also people hated the Imagine video because it came out at the height of Covid and lockdowns (at least US-wise), so it came across as insulting and incredibly tone deaf that a bunch of celebrities with a million things to do in their multimillion dollar mansions were singing this song of “hope” for everyone to unite and be strong through Covid when they don’t have to worry about shit. Surprised you never heard about it given it was basically all over RUclips about how crap it was.
