some bangers on that no joke.
Mainly just ‘First we take Manhattan’, tbh.

Yep. So to this day, the ‘real’ versions of those songs all sound a bit weird to me because I heard this first. Hotel California ain’t Hotel California without a 90-second acoustic buildup followed by applause as the intro riff kicks in

My parents only ever listened to Irish folk music and nothing else. My mum had about 3 tapes that she did the cooking to (we never had a car) and they were:
Margo - Country and Irish
Margo was quite a big deal in the west of Ireland for a) being Daniel O’Donnell’s sister and b) being an out lesbian :o) Here she is loving life in an image that is definitely not photoshopped (Oddly, my parents always disliked Daniel O’Donnell)
This isn’t even in the top 5 for worst Seamus Moore covers, Google will prove to be a treasure for that. Seamus is mainly known for his anthem, On The Brew, about being on the dole and an alcoholic simultaneously - enjoy that here:

Ireland Must be Heaven, and I can only assume, Kevin must be dead by now.

Thank goodness for being the youngest of 6 kids who all had an interest in music or things might have been so much different.
I love how the chorus goes “I’m on the brew / How do y’ do?”

I am 99% sure I recall seeing the video which involved a man jumping out of a coffin (???) but YouTube seem to have deleted it.

Gloria Estefan - Best Of
Spice Girls - Spice
That is a fucking 100% amazing tune.
May I please add that I still get the tingles to the spoken intro to You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night) I used to think it was SO SEXY. HAHA.
On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses? 
FUCKING RIGHT I WOULD.

It’s amazingly brilliant but the ‘love you inside & out…’ chorus lyrics are boak-inducingly awful
the recording, playing, arrangement, phrasing, melody, harmonies etc are all amazing but the chorus man 
Also what’s MTftSB?
