Dancing in the Street: Bowie & Jagger vs. Van Halen?

[Texas King]

Which cover version do you prefer?

[invisible airwave]

Bowie and Jagger not giving any Fs

 

[JohnRogers]

This will surprise some, 7 out of 10 times I’d choose the VH version.

[RushFanForever]

The song has been covered by many other artists, including The Kinks, The Mamas and the Papas, Tages, Grateful Dead, Little Richard, Myra, and The Struts.

Bowie & Jagger

[Rick N. Backer]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[stoopid]

The Bowie / Jagger cover always sounded sloppy to my ears, like they didn't rehearse it enough.

[ReRushed]

Van Halen's energy infused interpretation over a turgid, unimaginative, lazy recording.

[librarian]

While I appreciate the effort made my Bowie and Jagger on their song to raise money for Live Aid at the time, I prefer Van Halen's version of the song overall. Edited May 4, 2021 by librarian

VH, although it would definitely be my least favourite w/DLR song. So ahead of all the Sammy songs :laughing guy:

[driventotheedge]

The Martha & The Vandellas original by a looooooong way please. But since the question did say "remake" and listed 2 of the artists that did so, I'll go with VH. Edited May 4, 2021 by driventotheedge

Van Halen

[chemistry1973]

The Van Halen version by a huge margin.

[pjbear05]

Martha & the Vandellas, fckuk the rest.

VH, although it would definitely be my least favourite w/DLR song. So ahead of all the Gary and EVH imitating Roger Waters songs :laughing guy:

 

Fixed.

 

Sucker In A 3 Piece, Mine All Mine and Feelin' are awful, though. I really hate it when Sammy tries to be Bono on the latter two.

I just felt so sad that Eddie wasted his riff on Dancin` In The Street, but then I remember OU812 and how great that would be as an instrumental record - and how proud Sammy is of Mine all Mine`s lyrics...

Mine All Mine has nothing on "John Paul's all bulletproof and it really gets me through the roof." :lol:

Sam hasn`t mentioned whether he was proud of that one or not :facepalm:

[Super25Smasher]

Van Halen all the way.
