And it's awesome! *Snip* I heard the intro music and started singing "stand my me" to it. Fitted perfectly.  It was literally 1 note away from being the same riff. _________________ You joined a community. The community did not join you. |

Re: Covers that beat the Originals Recent events have triggered a big one...
"I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston. Most people (myself included) probably didn't even know it was a cover of a Dolly Parton song. The idea to use the song in "The Bodyguard" was Kevin Costner's. _________________ Want to play Dr. Who Card game over the web? http://bit.ly/PuFW5N (forum link)

If you listen to the original cut of the Bieber track, its the same chord progression; all these guys did was call attention to it, and , frankly, classy up the song that would have been bereft otherwise. _________________ A bear there was!

Way more fun than it should be... _________________

Re: Covers that beat the Originals As long as we are doing covers that improve on the original because the original is terrible:

Second, why are those other dudes appearing in the video? seriously the girl is the only one making this fun and watchable in any way. _________________ A bear there was! A bear! a bear!
