mc_squared Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 And of course, they once had a hit with this. How bizarre!

karenc Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hmmm sounds like it might be interesting. I'm very particular about people covering Coldplay though so it'll have to be spot on for me to like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 As I said in the Weezer VLV Cover thread, the Pet Shop Boys performance of Viva La Vida is my favorite cover of the song from the many I've seen. For one, it actually doesn't suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniea89 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Loves it! PSB covers are always good and I thought their version of VLV was one of the best. PSB fans are raving about this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancyk58 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I just heard Pet Shop Boys' VIVA LA VIDA cover and though originally of their version no lover I must admit that this Roskilde Festival version was indeed excellent and not a sort of perversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
