Cover Me! 'The Man Who Sold The World'

Hadn't heard this old David Bowie song in ages, so was surprised to hear it on Radio Two last year, then thought 'Hang on, that's not the original!'...but it's a great cover, so well done, Nirvana, for breathing new life into it.

I really like Lulu's version. Nirvana used a very similar arrangement to Bowie's original version, still an excellent cover though. Bowie came up with a completely different arrangement for the Lulu version which I found much more interesting.

Nirvana broke up in 1994 when Kurt Cobain performed some amateur cosmetic surgery with a shotgun so it's hardly breathing new life into it now.
