Many songs get covered or re-interpreted, the covers often being more successful than the original.

Here are some cover versions of one song along with the original, let us know in the comments which is your favourite, or if you don’t like any of them.

“ Green Tambourine” is a song written by Paul Leka and Shelly Pinz and first recorded by The Lemon Pipers in a 1967 single and on their 1968 debut album.

It has been covered by various acts including:

Status Quo on their 1968 debut album “Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo”.

The Enoch Light Singers on the 1968 album “12 Smash Hits”.

The Marsupials on their 1986 album “The Four Of Us Are Dying”.

The Associates released it as the B side to the 1990 single “Fire To Ice”.

Just a bloke getting on with life, seemingly becoming less tolerant, more grumpy and politically incorrect as I go.
