I keep coming back to the Postmodern Jukebox channel on YouTube.

They make covers of modern(ish) hits in older styles. For instance, a recent one was Spice Girls "Wannabe" in the style of the Andrews Sisters.

Not exactly highbrow but they usually make me smile.

How kind of Mr Dylan to show concern for Mr Trump.

Excellent Rick, I just watched the Friends one and Radiohead's 'Creep' (seemingly as if sung by Earth kitt )!

I was practicing some scales the other day, and a half-remembered tune kind of came out but I couldn't
place what it was, after a week or two of it being an ear-worm, it came to me. The song was originally a hit for David and Jonathan (actually the writers, Roger Greenaway and Roger Cook ). The version I remembered was by 'The Congregation,' and is a truly bizarre mix of choral singers, ill fitting electric guitar licks, overblown male solo vocals and schmaltzy lyrics. The sound steers somewhere between convent and shipyard, needless to say it was a hit, number 4 in 1971.
'Softly Whispering I Love You'.....The Congregation.

David and Jonathan's original version which is also slightly over-egged, if you can bear to listen to it after the first one.

Paul Young slathered it in saccarine and synth's in 1990, but I'll spare you that .
Good tune tho' !
