Jarvis Covers Talking Heads, Black Sabbath

Mr. Cocker was the closing act at the Shockwaves NME Awards Show at the Astoria in London Saturday night, where he treated the crowd to Jarvis tunes and some choice covers. He scoffed at a "Common People" request ("this band are not Pulp"), but doing Ozzy and Byrne was consolation enough. Watch 'em now, before Viacom claims proprietary ownership of Talking Heads covers. The quality's not great, but the audio is good enough to sing along to. And you can make out Jarvis's sweet moves to "Paranoid."

"Heaven" after the jump.

I love how he can keep true to spirit of two very different songs yet somehow add his own spin- I think that's the definition of a great cover.

^ Just download replay music and do it yourself.

The moves in that 'Paranoid' cover are stuff made of legends.
