The worst/best Beatles cover ever…

Which is it? Worst or best? Best or worst? You decide.

  • Snork Maiden
    LOL his voice is amazing! the conductor turns around and gives him a really dirty look at about 34 seconds into it LOL
  • dirk
  • Is that Ena Sharples husband?
  • The singer does seem like a cross between butterfield and retired boxer, Milo Kerrigan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryW29CNO_jw&...
  • I think that a lot of alcohol went into that production.

    The wavers at the front are great, almost Matthew Barney-esque, but the choir are acting like they are on an ID parade for an assault that happened down the docks.

    The Markus song was like someone flicking your ears from behind, but with a cowbell.
  • Dave
    I've just listened to Christopher's link to the Help song by Markus. I was immediately sick all over my shoes. That really was the worst thing I've heard in a long time dude.
  • Dave
    Outstanding. That is all.
  • Kitchen
    It's the berst. The thing I like about the Russian Navy is that they refuse top compromise when it comes to millinery - if you're gonna wear a stupid hat, make it MASSIVE.
  • christopher
    It's definitely the best. It makes you feel all warm and goo-ey inside.
    Also because the worst is this:

  • Yes I think you are right. Your track is definitely worse. Nice one.
  • Jen
    That was bad, just very bad. All of it. Just bad.

    And err, I don't like to mention it but, err... the singer? Does he have a large bust or am I imagining that?
  • At least they're dressed in appropriate Beatles attire.
  • JP
    best. you don't have to pronounce the words you are singing in any useful english way just belt out noise that is in tune(? honestly I don't know if it's in tune - but it seems fine enough)

    it might also be one of the shortest (height) group beatles cover too.
  • It's the Russian Navy if I'm not mistaken. You aren't allowed moustaches in the Royal Navy, and the RN don't have Cyrillic writing on the hats either.
  • that is truly remarkable!!!
  • Where's his sherry glass?
  • dirk
    How can you even ask such a question? That uniform is ripped (to which I mean handsome rather than torn). I may be wrong but I think he is trying to do the accent and love the way that Wrenski casually sways into shot at the end. Now where is my bally balalaika?

  • Best version of 'Let It Be' ever!!

    Probably because of the hat-waving finish.

    Tight drummer too.
  • Is that... is that Brian Butterfield?
  • Timothy
    Is this the latest Naval tactic to get your enemy to surrender? I hear the RAF are planning an ABBA medley.
  • I love that shit.
