    I went nut this moring. There was me, getting dressed listenin to the radio when i hear Relish-Rainbow Zypher.... then i realised that the words were different so i listen closely, and to my shock and terror i found that it was a remake by......WESTLIFE

    Why are we forced to put up with those muppets

    Why?

    I think Relish re-wrote it for them.

    I think only one lyric is changed ("Rainbow Zephyr" to "Hey Whatever") :rolleyes:

    The one good thing out of this is that Relish will make quite a bit of money out of it (at least 5 figures) if/when it makes number one in the UK.

    There's more changed than that.
    I cant find the lyrics online though to compare.

    Well after a bit more digging, because this has been annoying me to no end, here are both versions.


    Relish - Rainbow Zephyr
    http://www.letssingit.com/?http://www.letssingit.com/relish-rainbow-zephyr-4z3th6z.html

    Well I've tasted the mustard seed and I've walked with the man
    and I've read the isis papers but have always known what I am
    and I can sing you songs about the mystical men
    but I won't make much sense
    I profess
    Chorus:
    oh, rainbow zephyr
    let your beauty come alive
    let your colour fill the sky
    rainbow zephyr
    why don't you liberate my mind?
    let your colour fill the sky
    she's in the waiting room and she's sat in line
    well the question is why cos I've been good all my life
    giving up the gift you say the good die young
    now do gurus and philosophers still turn you on?
    Chorus: ah, rainbow zephyr
    let your beauty come alive
    let your colour fill the sky
    I said rainbow zephyr
    why don't you liberate my mind?
    let your colour fill the sky
    its like a purse without violets
    we go from the wheel to what's real
    and I said this ain't no repograse
    but I tell ya now its just the way I feel
    are you a champion of science
    or are you some freak show fool?
    because what cannot be proved can still be true
    Chorus (repeat):


    Westlife - Hey Whatever

    Well I can't control the universe
    cause I am only a man
    And I've been in the papers but they won't tell me who I am
    And if you really need a new philosophie
    well there's one that makes sense
    The one I profess

    Chorus:
    I say hey whatever
    Let your beauty come alive
    Let your colour fill the sky
    And say hey whatever
    Why don't you liberate your mind
    Let your colour fill the sky

    All the world's in waiting room
    And we're standing in line
    I found the answer to the question
    What makes this time
    Oh won't let them change your story
    won't let them change your thought
    so let the gurus and philophers hit you on?

    Chorus:
    Hey, Whatever
    Let your beauty come alive
    Let your color fill the sky
    And say hey whatever
    Why don't you liberate your mind
    Let your colour fill the sky

    So I am taking a seat at the roulette thing
    We've just been in a wheel
    Should I bet or take what comes
    Don't change how I feel
    You're a champion of science
    You're just some freak show fool?
    What cannot be proved no no can still be true

    Chorus:
    And I say hey whatever
    Let your beauty come alive
    Let your colour fill the sky
    And say hey whatever
    Why don't you liberate your mind
    Let your colour fill the sky
    Hey whatever
    Let your beauty come alive
    Let your colour fill the sky
    And say hey whatever
    Why don't you liberate your mind?
    Let your colour fill the sky

    Aaaahh
    Hey whatever

    Yeah, my jaw was on my lap for that performance, and for quite a while afterwards. I don't think that they're gonna be able to release it though - it'd be mocked from here to Neptune.

    I was lying in a burnt-out basement
    WIth a full moon in my eye
    [/SMILEY_BOUNCY_STERILE]
    [/HAPPY_HAPPY_FUN_TIME]

    What was even worse was that I'd just learned how to play the Thom Yorke version of it, so I'd two versions to flay Six's with.
