There are certain songs that should never be covered; Bohemian Rhapsody (sorry Flaming Lips) don't go there; "God Only Knows," that this song should only be played when listening to Pet Sounds hey-o!; "Stairway to Heaven" just because you know how to play it, doesn't mean others should have to hear it; and finally, "Heroes" by Bowie. In recent years this song has been butchered by both Oasis and the Wallflowers (on the Godzilla soundtrack), not to mention a score of other bands over the decades trying to take a shot at one of the best songs ever written. Yeah, I know it's overplayed but don't tell me you didn't get goose bumps the first time you got stoned and listened to this jam in your basement. In any case, Kasabian has now taken a stab at the song with similarly unremarkable results. I guess they did the cover to inspire England to win the World Cup. I am confused though, as I thought that job already went to Embrace...get it straight you frickin' Redcoats!
