The Beatles fans full of praise for unlikely comedian who 'put a ton of work' into I Am the Walrus cover Cult Following
As part of a covers album made in tribute to the very best of the Fab Four’s music, longtime producer George Martin assembled some of the biggest names for fourteen songs. Each of the songs featured on In My Life had originally been produced by Martin with the band. Features from Céline Dion to Phil Collins gave the album some contemporary features from some of the biggest names around, but there were also some surprising additions made by Hollywood stars Sean Connery and Robin Williams. A comedian who featured on the album is the standout moment for fans, though, with Jim Carrey and his version of I Am the Walrus hailed by listeners as one of the best covers around.
One fan praised The Mask and Sonic the Hedgehog star in a post to the r/Music subreddit, writing: “Wow, he’s good. You can tell he put a ton of work into that, and wanted to do it right.”
Another added: “Holy shit, he actually sings rather well.” A third wrote: “Wow. Mind Blown. I wasn’t expecting that whatsoever.” Other listeners were left enjoying the Carrey cover more than the original version of the song, which went on to be covered by Oasis during several of their tours.
