Top of the Pops 1988 favourites The Pasadenas do a rather unlikely 1992 club/house/dance version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - that sounds almost nothing like actual Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds other than a handful of recognisable lyrics.

Des O'Connor released a version of the Neighbours theme tune as a single in 1988 - and it reached number 100 in the charts. I certainly wasn't expecting much from it, but it actually sounds far worse than I was expecting.

Sonia sings Madonna.
Featuring various Radio 1 DJs, children's presenters and Bungle and Geoffrey from Rainbow. It's so bad that it's..... just terrible.

Bungle exclaiming "Bette Davis, we love you" isn't something I ever expected to hear in my lifetime.

Imagine my shock when I was watching TV the other night and an advert came on with Miley Cyrus doing a cover of a Shampoo song of all things.

Is it just me or is Miley Cyrus looking rather like Lulu these days? Lulu as she looks now, aged 70-something, that is.

I thought that Glen Campbell's version of "My Girl" was really triffic.
