Seriously I do. I heard Rod Stewart's original version of 'Your Song' on the radio the other day and found it to be really bland and boring. However I love Ewen McGregor and Nicole Kidman's spectacular incarnation of that song. It has much more heart and meaning when they sing it in the film.
The same thing with Sting's 'Roxanne', it's so flat and uninteresting compared to the show stopping 'El Tango De Roxanne' displayed in the film.
I even prefer the films version of 'Like a Virgin' over Madonna's! That's not saying much though, i'd rather hear Freddy Kruger's rendition of any of her songs using nothing more than a chalk board and that razor glove of his.
Same goes for every song Ewen and Nicole sang during the 'Elephant Medley'.
I know that all of these songs are classics and everyone loves them, but I just like the film's versions a lot better. Am I alone here? I hope not.
