Following Miley Cyrus and The Flaming Lips' performance of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds at the Billboard Music Awards, we take a look at the best and worst covers of The Beatles

Last night, Miley Cyrus and The Flaming Lips performed a cover of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds at the Billboard Music Awards, ahead of the release of their full cover album of the Beatles' St. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.



The twerking one isn't the first to try her hand at covering the mop top four; we asked our Twitter followers which were the best and worst Beatles covers. Add your thoughts in the thread below.

Elliott Smith, king of dramatic melancholy, is perfectly suited to this track from Abbey Road. He even manages to hold his weight during the nine-vocal harmony at the beginning. We never really understood the opening lyric though – "Because the world is round, it turns me on."



This version of Happiness is a Warm Gun was approvingly suggested by Jamie. We agree with him, it's brilliant. Kim Deal's voice fits the melody perfectly and even gives the original a run for its money.



Melissa York suggested this live version of Stevie Wonder covering We Can Work It Out at the White House in 2010. It is certainly an accomplished, fun performance with some great drum work from a guy with a pretty awesome beard.



Andy B told us: "Aidan Moffat's Yellow Submarine and Jeffrey Lewis's Octopus's Garden both work the wonder of making rubbish songs great." We're also big fan of Lewis' cover. He brings the same plinky-plonky acoustic guitar and mumbling vocals to this as to his own work.



This was nominated as "the worst ever" Beatles cover by @bbford. Its soggy, underwater feel made it sound like it was falling apart in our ears. Not great. And that's before we even mention the video.

This glorious, full-bodied version of You Can't Do That released on the 1964 album A Bit of Liverpool might even be better than the original Beatles' version. The sinister-but-sweet lyrics work brilliantly with Mary Wilson's vocals.
