Admittedly there aren't really any decent covers of Pulp songs... (apart from Bill), my theory is that JC's style's so unique that other singers can't do the songs justice... but then there's Born To Cry.

In all seriousness, I like the Shatner cover!

The Bon Bon Clubs version of "Love is Blind" is decent. I also like Chevettes "We can dance again" and Franz Ferdinands version of Mis-Shapes is quite good.

You've just listed three songs I didn't know about! I did the snoopy dance to celebrate. Are they on yahoo or iTunes?

Any dream covers? I'd like to have seen Johnny Cash cover something. Don't know what... Someone like the Moon perhaps? I'd also (and this ones more achievable but still unlikely) like to see Me First & The Gimme Gimmes cover a Pulp song. That would be awesome!

The Shatner one is awful. I like Divine Comedy's improvised version of Disco 2000.

What?! TDC? Disco 2000? How? When? Where? My third favourite band covers my favourite band and I don't hear about it??

Should be in one of the yahoo accounts. It's only about a minute or two long and off-the-cuff (Neil messes up the words a bit) but charming. 

The oddest thing uploaded on pulptube was an early MGMT doing Razzmatazz.

Both versions of Disco 2000 by Nick Cave are better than the glam rock original. I have the feeling the mellow one is a Bad Seeds track and the faster one is Pulp with Nick on vocals. I can even hear Jarvis somewhere on backing vocals. Anyone got more news on that?

Mellow: 

Pub rock version:

I love Cave but Dear God, I don't know how anyone could prefer his ''pub rock'' version to the original. It should have been left in the pub.
The waltz version is nice though.

It's more raw. It's has got an edge which the original lacks in my opinion.

I'm not too keen on the Nick Cave version of Disco 2000 but it got used a few times didn't it? BCV single and Disk 2 of Deluxe DC. The Vocoda club mix of common people also on Disk 2 of DC is good
