basic tactic for doing an attention seeking cover version – if it is fast, do a drippy piano/guitar ballad version, if it already is one of them, do a punk version.

You are Frank Turner and I claim my £5.

The singing, the music, the 'dancing', the clothes*. The nerve of two past-it, middle aged, white guys believing they can do this - taking one of the most genuinely joyous moments of pop and clod-hopping their way through it.

It makes me want all dancing to be banned forever if this is what it sounds like.

* Bowie is worse. Jagger has always looked like he stole his clothes from the back of his grannies wardrobe, but Bowie is supposed to be some sort of style icon.

To be fair, it was for live aid, which for all the money and awareness it raised, the whole thing was pretty much a cringey dad rock festival

Almost forgot about this brilliant sendup

Machinegun Kelly's version of Ariels by System of a Down is on a truly awful level all of it's own.

That girl who covered Bon Iver’s Skinny Love. Don’t know her name and not Googling it.

two past-it, middle aged, white guys

If they were past it then, imagine the next 30 years of their careers

The video of Dancing In The Street with the music taken out is incredible, somehow makes it all even worse
