there's an oasis cover that was a minor hit a while back, but that's not recent by any means

this song has been covered a shitload of times

Didn't Jim Carey cover this song on that compilation a few years back?

On the list of "sounds I never want to hear ever in my life ever", that would be slightly lower than the sound of my grandmother getting raped and just higher than the sound of Symantiks covering a Mindbender classic at karaoke.

Tons of covers, Spookie Tooth's 70's stoner rock version comes to mind.

I heard it and was wondering the same thing, so decided to look it up when I saw this thread. I believe that it was the beatles cover band "The Fab Faux" who appeared on his show two years ago.

FAUX REAL

Howard was reading Rolling Stone magazine the other day and read about a band calling themselves The Fab Faux. The Fab Faux (Will Lee, Jimmy Vivino, Frank Agnello, Jack Petruzzelli, and Rich Pagano) is a collection of professional musicians including 3 guys from the house bands on Late Night with Conan OגBrien and The Late
Show with David Letterman, who recreate the songs of the Beatles. The guysג theory is that the Beatles were like Mozart and their songs need and deserve to be played live. They donגt consider themselves to be a tribute band though; they consider themselves to be more like a delivery system, allowing people to enjoy the music how it was originally written.

Howard was very excited to have the guys in and had the studio packed with equipment. The Fab Faux played גI Am The Walrusג, גTomorrow Never Knowsג, and גStrawberry Fields Foreverג flawlessly, richly layering them with what sounded like a 25 piece orchestra. Howard said the performances were
spectacular and said it was fun watching them recreate every little nuance, from all the strings parts, to the members grabbing different instruments during the songs, to all the voices in the background. The band said any
sample they used during the performances they actually made at home. They took nothing off the original albums. Howard said it was great to see a band NOT try to sound and look like the Beatles, but make the music sound exactly
how the Beatles intended it to sound. The Fab Faux do about 50 shows a year and are currently working on recreating the solo albums that the Beatles made after the band broke up. In time they will also recreate the entire White Album.
