Two Out Of Three - Killed... EEEEEEEWWWWW

Kev · 14 Jul 2006, 22:59

You thought Bonnie Tylers version was bad.

Just on Napster and found Marie Mazziotti's 2000 album 'This Time From The Heart' and she covers (and Kills) the song...

It's ****ing shit!

My God, yes I did, and I was so surprised! Her version of Making Love is great, and she has done loads of great Steintracks.

Her version of 2 out of 3 ain't bad, it's f-ing awful (see what I did there?

). IT IS NOT A DISCO SONG!

If there is a worse version out there, I do not want to hear it !

Paul191 · 14 Jul 2006, 23:06

Just heard the song also and it is awful!!!

RSG · 14 Jul 2006, 23:35

I heard a country version with male vocals the other day. I suppose its only a matter of taste, but I didn't care for it. The accoustic guitar was nice though.

Dave · 15 Jul 2006, 05:00

Hey now...I quite fancy Bonnie's 2OO3!

Pudding · 15 Jul 2006, 12:23

Bonnie's version sucks.

The country version RSG heard is probably Julian Austin, although Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did a cover back in '84. I think some of the songs could work quite well country-fied. Bat Out Of Nashville would have been errrr interesting to say the least.

ChloeLee88 · 15 Jul 2006, 13:24

I havnt heard any other version....i can't imagine anyone else singing that song!!

Thanks for the leads on other artists - I am getting hold of those tracks. Bat Out Of Nashville would be hilarious (either because it is so good, or so bad!)

Dave · 17 Jul 2006, 04:51

I still stand by the fact that Bonnie Tyler's Two Out Of Three is quite good for what it is.

Well, actually it is surprisingly catchy - I think it probably falls into the category of "so bad its good"!

Dave · 18 Jul 2006, 02:54

Not at all...I have to disagree with you on that...

Bonnie's 2OO3 is a very good song in the "dance/techno" genre of music.

Jaymze · 18 Jul 2006, 16:32

Well Steinman said he wrote 2 outta 3 with a country theme in mind. I can imagine it as a country song, I think it´d sound quite good.

**Diane** · 18 Jul 2006, 16:41

Jim has also said that the lyrics to Two Out Of Three are his twist on the Elvis song I Want You, I Need You, I Love You. It's another terrific example of just how amazing Jim is with everyday cliches.

Jim did play and sing a country version of part of Two Out Of Three. I think from memory it's on the Classic Albums dvd.

*AndyK* · 18 Jul 2006, 16:46

It is Classic ALbums Diane, ... and one day I"ll persuade the Band With No Name to include it in our repetoire ...

**The Flying Mouse** · 18 Jul 2006, 20:32

It is very good the way Jimmy sings in on the Classic Albums DVD

Very different

Don't know how much i'd listen to it actually recorded like that, but a great little novelty

PanicLord · 18 Jul 2006, 21:18

I actually quite like Julian Austin's version. It works very well as a country song. Bring on Bat Out Of Nashville.

szakal88 · 15 Aug 2006, 14:11

I read that Jim wrot that song only to win bet with his friend. He said to Jim that Jim couldn't write a song about anything. So they bet. His firend said "Ok, 2 out of 3 aint' bad, wrie a song about that". Did any one knows is it true??

**The Flying Mouse** · 15 Aug 2006, 14:28

Never heard that one before.
Jimmy tells a very different story on the Classic Albums documentry.

samurai7 · 15 Aug 2006, 18:30

The story behind Bonnie's version is this:

She and Jim were discussing Nikki French's version of 'Total Eclipse', and so they decided to make 'Two Out Of Three' into a disco song before someone else did. In other words, Jim decided that if anyone should mangle one of his songs, it should be him.

Actually, I quite like it. (gets ready for the attack!)

I mean, it should end after about 5 minutes, not go on to nearly 9, but it's not horrible...

wenners · 15 Aug 2006, 21:53

If there is a worse version than bonnie's of 2 out of 3 i dont want to hear it.

i'm still traumatised from this version.

Kev · 16 Aug 2006, 18:57

I just found this!!! Just had a listen too, its crap.

**RadioMaster** · 16 Aug 2006, 19:05

The NGDB recorded 2 out of 3???????
