Selected covers
Nineteen covers of Yazoo by contemporary electropop, with various degrees of success. Braingarden feat. Allison Mayer stand out with a pumping version of ‘Situation’. | |
Among the first to cover a Yazoo song, Flying Pickets still set the standard with their a capella version of Only you. | |
Tom Jones does ‘Situation’. Not bad, not bad. One version on the album ‘The lead and how to swing it’, two more on the cd-single ‘I wanna get back with you’. | |
One of several bands that took their name and at least part of their repertoire from Yazoo, others being Oozay and Chinese Detectives (from an instrumental Yazoo used to play live). Yakooza’s versions of ‘Situation’ are fine, but fairly unremarkable. | |
Believe it or not, a loud gothic metal version of ‘Don’t go’ by German band Atrocity. |
