Covers of Sweet Thing

[Greggulator]

So Van Morrison's Sweet Thing is one of my favorite songs ever. This has led me down the vortex of people covering Sweet Thing on YouTube. It's insane to see how many people try to cover this thing but fail so spectacularly at doing so. It has to be the highest ratio of terrible covers to great song ever recorded.

I shall chronicle my favorites.

You came for the weirdly mixed vocals. You stayed for the horrifically loud pipe organ.

Ever want to hear Sweet Thing literally sung in a wind tunnel?

Seemingly earnest man kills time before going X-Mas shopping with the family by doing Sweet Thing but apparently needs to poop.

Either this guy is trying to do a version of this as envisioned by the Jesus & Mary Chain or he just completely is off-the-rails.

Sounds a little like Huey Lewis. Weird camera angle.

No wind tunnel here but it is shot in a jungle. All sorts of strange crickets. Also, this guy is sooooooooooooooo punchable in an adjunct professor sorta way. He also adds in his OWN verse to this! Wow.

I agree it's a great song, Greggulator. That said, I'm not sure whether you deserve a medal of valor for watching these things, or slow death by red ant bites while buried neck-deep in Death Valley for posting them.

By the way, something tells me #7 doesn't need to watch the ferryboats to get high.

I liked this guy's version.  And I really liked your comments, Gregyoulater.
