Que Sera Sera - Sly and the Family Stone

I like most of what Sly and the Family Stone recorded, but I'm not too keen on this cover. Give me the good old cheesy original version by Doris Day any day (no pun intended) of the week.

Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers

By far my favourite version of one of the most covered songs in history. The original version by Todd Duncan was first featured in a fifties B-movie called "Unchained", hence the title of the song.
