Achmed’s Jingle Bomb – Jeff Dunham

Achmed sings a Christmas song, enjoy!

Ralph McTell – Streets of London

Go the sixties, go!

Blackmore’s Night – Streets of London (Ralph McTell cover)

“So how can you tell me you’re lonely, 
And say for you that the sun don’t shine? 
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London 
I’ll show you something to make you change your mind”

Sinead O’Connor – The House of Rising Sun

A soft version of the classy “The House of the Rising Sun”. Around one hundred bands have made a tribute to The Animals, but believe me, Sinead O’Connor’s cover is among the better ones.

Blackmore’s Night – Diamonds and Rusts

A good cover off Joan Baez. Long life Renaissance!

Pete Doherty – Beg, Steal or Borrow

I love him, the 6″4 junkie always in tuxedo who delivers songs straight from a heart of the misery. One of the best lyricists of the decade.

Babyshambles – Lost Art of A Murder

It’s my favourite song. So you can close this now. Unless you think you can get what this poem is about.

[Les Miserables] 10th anniversary – I Dreamed a Dream

One of the most touching live performed songs I’ve ever heard. Yes, Ruthie Henshall is the very best Fantine to me, no matter what you say. Trust me, it’s even more emotional than the studio version.

Everybody Hurts – VA – Help people in Haiti

Everybody Hurts – Original by R.E.M. – Performed by Various Artists 

Help people in Haiti. 

I’m glad that this tribute is a version of one of my all-time favourite songs. No offense, but this kinda simple song is much more touching to me than those ‘earth-songs’. 

It’s hard to be better than R.E.M’s though.

Can’t Take My Eyes Off You – Muse cover

One of the best modern versions of this ‘class’ song. Performed by a live-act-awards-winning rock band, Muse, on BBC Choice.
