I think that Jennifer Saunders cover of “I need a hero” (yes, the one that was in Shrek 2) is better than the original by Bonnie Tyler.




Something about having orchestra and a choir in a fast paced song just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

IMO, original is superior. It just sounds right.

I very rarely like the cover over the original. One of the examples is “The man who sold the world” - I love the Nirvana version, I can’t even listen to David Bowie’s version.

Oh I’m not saying the original is a bad song, no no no. I just like the cover a little more.

Hotter take: I remember when it was a theme song for a shitty tv show.
