I don't recall 'Smith' - but they showed up on the related vids. Dig those zany hippy chicks.

Argent V KISS.

And then Jeff Beck stuck 'is 'ead round the corner. Personally I prefer the orchestra.

I'm not sure whether Bowie's Heroes or Wallflower's is the better version though.

Check this out: a cover of Rammstein's "Du Hast". By a choir. A capella.

That guy's A cappella rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody I posted the other day.

I'm schitzo (hey it's topical) with Queen. Some of it is akin to fingernails on a blackboard to me, yet 'don't fool me' is probably in my top 10 all time.
