    My god some original versions are best forgotten.

    Not a Bruce fan in general but that's a shocking version of that song

    Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me
    Nope
    Oasis - Wonderwall
    David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

    I'd also forgotten about that wonderwall cover that if I recall correctly did well enough in the Irish charts. Was pish though
