A few months back, coolshades requested something from Oliver & Co. and while I do have a few covers of songs from that movie, none of them are really good. Here is Why Should I Worry by the STARLITE SINGERS.
The Starlite Singers are a group of studio musicians that crank out album after album of cheaply produced covers of popular music. They range in genre from pop to dance to oldies to Christmas. There are three volumes of Disney music, called CHILDREN'S CLASSIC FILM FAVORTIES, which are terrible. The modern songs try to sound exactly the same and the older Disney classics are made to be more modern but in a bad way.
I found this disc in a five dollar bin and knew it would be awful but had to get it anyway. Some of the tracks are actually hilarious because they are so bad. This cover of Why Should I Worry is one of the better ones. But if you were doing a cover of a Billy Joel song, wouldn't you try to make it quite different? Because if you tried to make it sound like Billy Joel you would just fail! This cover by the Starlite Singers is a perfect example.
Sorry about the crappy Oliver cover, coolshades. I'll post a better one at a later date.

yeah you're right...not a very good cover at all. lol
I may be wrong, but it seems like Oliver & Co. wasn't one of the most popular Disney animated films (I seem to recall that it didn't come out on video until many years after it was released in theatres). Maybe that's why there aren't too many good covers out there.
Thanks for remembering my request :D
And besides that -- he's not saying "Street savoir faire" at all!

This guy frankly sounds like that he's singing along to a MIDI track.
It also sounds like he's saying
"They Love Me At The Chelsea
(Chaucer)
They Throw Me Out At The Ritz
(adore)
I just found this thread after hearing Starlite Singers doing a cover of "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" by CCR...wow that was bad lol..it actually hurt to listen to...just wanted to add that :)
Well, there actually are TWO great covers (in my eyes) of this song performed by the original cast of the Mickey Mouse Club (the horn section on that song is killer), and am I the only one who likes the Erich Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops version?
