New Wave Outpost Forum

New Wave covers the Beatles. Okay this should be fun. What "new wave" bands covered the Beatles and what songs were they?
I'll start it off with.
Danielle Dax-Tomorrow Never Knows (TNK)
801 live-(TNK)
Polyrock-Rain
Random Hold-We can work it out.
Siouxie and the Banshees-Dear Prudence
Flying Lizards-Money (that's what I want)
It'll be interesting to see what people consider a "New Wave" band and all the covers I'm not aware of.

The Chameleons - Tomorrow Never Knows (I see a pattern here)
Siouxsie & The Banshees - Helter Skelter
Thompson Twins - Revolution
Flying Lizards - Money (That's What I Want)
Laibach - the entire Let It Be album
The Damned - Help
Candy Flip - Strawberry Fields Forever

Geez - - I know the Mission UK did a version of 'Tomorrow Never Knows' as well!

The Jam did a version of 'And your bird can sing' - - it's on the 'Extras' CD....

i only know of one that you handn't listed so far..

Dollar - I Wanna Hold Your Hand

Thanks

Not quite "new wave" but....

Happiness Is A Warm Gun[The Breeders]
Cry Baby Cry(on the 'Counting Backwards' EP)[Throwing Muses]
Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey[Kristen Hersh]

J.j.......

The Feelies also did a version of "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me and My Monkey."

The 1981 #1 hit (can I say this all in one breath) "Medley: Intro Venus / Sugar Sugar / No Reply / I'll Be Back / Drive My Car / Do You Want To Know A Secret / We Can Work It Out / I Should Have Known Better / Nowhere Man / You're Going To Lose That Girl / Stars On 45" by the Stars on 45 was a medley of Beatles tunes (minus 'Venus' and 'Sugar Sugar' of course) [8D]

Tomorrow never knows was also covered by our lady peace and believe it or not, phil collins.

Stars on 45 were new wave? I learn a new thing every day.

U2 also did a version of "Helter Skelter"
