Well it's been at least a fortnight since I featured an Aussie...so this one I kinda know where @Doreensfree is Gunna vote but the if @Cbdave shows up he might vote with Farnsie but I spose we will just have to wait and see what the rest of you mob go for...and yes technically Farnham was born in the UK but if ya listen to the bloke talk he fruckin Aussie as...

 

So in the corner for the Original and Liverpool we have the Beatles 

 

And the challenger with the cover, representing Australia we have John Farnham .....  Giving the song a whole new life...

 

Yes @Sazerac this is the Sadie the Cleaning Lady Johnny Farnham.

Oh...here is a live version of Farnsie...

I usually do not think covers are the better though they can be good.  But in all honesty I go with the cover on this one.  (could be I was not into early Beatles only into their later stuff)!!!!

The second version of the cover...that first 30 seconds is just how me uncles talk, and laugh...my dad talks like me Kerrigan.. although my uncle's would call it a piana.

I didn't have a strong opinion on this one, so I did my default vote and went for the original.  Plus, I was worried Doreen might whack me with her frying pan if I voted against the Beatles.

Oh...looks like it's either no more Beatles covers...or no more Aussies....are we in for our first draw? Not even @Boo

 

Before any moratorium on Beatles covers takes effect...OTIS!
