What a great idea for a show Mike. This same idea would work great for covers in general, but The Beatles are definitely a great place to start. As you know, I don't necessarily think The Beatles hung the moon, but I still have great appreciation for their work. So I'm gonna make everybody mad and say which song, the cover or the original, I like best.
That'll Be The Day - I actually like Buddy Holly and The Crickets version a little better, but not by much. Honestly, I'm not that big a fan of that song in general.
Ain't She Sweet - The Beatles version is definitely better here.
Anna (Go With Him) - This is very close. I'll say the Beatles, but A. Alexander's version is really good as well.
Chains - This would be my favorite of the bunch, and it's The Beatles by another small margin. I'm surprised at how much I like The Cookies version. Great vocals either way.
Boys - I like the Shirells (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) version better. It makes so much more sense when it's done by females. I'm surprised that The Beatles didn't change it to Girls, but what do I know? I can answer that, not much.
Great show Mike, I really love this idea.
