Cover of the Week: Oasis – I am the Walrus

Remember when Oasis was going to be the next Beatles? Here they are doing their best impression.

They will forever be compared to the Lads from Liverpool, and I must say that they are spot on with this version of one of the Beatles’ signature hits. I always thought Liam Gallagher’s voice sounded a bit like John Lennon’s and the group has drawn criticism for being Beatles imitators. On Cover of the Week, we don’t mind imitation (the sincerest form of flattery) since Oasis manages to put their own spin on one of their idol’s most innovative tunes.

PS: Jim Carrey (!?!?) covered this song as well. Click here to watch the America’s favorite pet detective sing and make noises. If you are like me, you’re wondering why he did it. Turns out it was for George Martin’s 1998 album “In My Life.”
