Richard Harris - MacArthur Park? Meh...
Donna Summer - MacArthur Park? Hell Yeah!

He [Marilyn Manson] did a great job with this classic song["You're so Vain"]. Carly Simon's version is her's and THE classic, with this is damn good too...
Don't believe everything that you read.

Anyway, on a totally different note (pun intended) - Loving this classic cover of Bruce Cockburn's Lovers in a Dangerous Time by the Barenaked Ladies. And the video captures the suburbs of Toronto in the 90s perfectly.

Interesting background music trivia. Back in the day, Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) were buds, but they had a falling out. Reznor wrote the song "Starfuckers" about Marilyn Manson leaching off of his celebrity in which he referenced "You're so Vain."

Holy Crap!!! I did not think many knew of both of these Canadian treasures outside of Canada.
Yes, both versions are amazing. BNL's even had some controversy over their band name. So silly.
They put their own sound and feel to the song, and I love them both. Great Selection for this thread!!!

Actually, Just A Guy and I are both Canucks (though I think he lives in the US) so you may be right.![]()
Though I think BNL did try to crack the US market with a bit of success at one point.

I prefer the Santana version -
This is a 1978 cover of a 1969 Allman Brothers classic. This one blows the original out of the water.

For now, a last one from me. Originally a country song by Dolly Parton, but Whitney Houston's version of "I will always love you" made the sound track from "The body guard" a world wide hit
Quote by Sinnerman
A few have covered Abba and added their own twist but this is just so damn dark and haunting it makes the cover superbly original imo.
