Katrina is the original OG in this face off! The Gardiner Sisters have been holding their own with this one, though! Thanks for the vote, my lovely Jinn! Ha ha!

Wow! A tie! How cool is that? As for Walking on Sunshine, this is one of my favorite songs from the 80s, so I’ve got to go with Katrina and the Waves. I do like the Gardiner Sisters’ cover too though.

I was so shocked yesterday I had the vapours and forgot to come back to comment. Dear God in Heaven and all who sail in it WTF @ the 4 Stepford-wives-to-be ?? They are too perfect and wholesome to be real and what a banal cheesy version of the song. Pass the bucket! Sam Amidon, well here he is walking in sunshine sounding like he’s just lost the lottery, you couldn’t inject a more miserable tone into him if you tried. I had to look up the Ghobi Desert chaps on the Youtube as yours was not working, and had to immediately turn it off when that awful face with the eyes rolled up filled my screen, also- can’t sing for toffee. Katrina & The Waves gave this song an energy and Joie de vivre you’d get up and dance to, or sing along loudly in the car to and bob up and down in your seat, it’s happy, uplifting with a great beat, and brilliant musicianship from the band with a great vocal by Katrina. These charlatans you’ve provided have murdered a classic. Congratulations mate, this is your best worst comparisons ever! 🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sam Amidon definitely gave it a more morose tone. And, although the Gardiner Sister’s isn’t my thing (absolutely too Brady Bunch for my liking), I had a feeling others would really enjoy it. And, with all the votes they’ve had, I guess I was right!!
I usually like a pink version of a song… I can’t say that Ghobi is the best choice though. But, I like to use versions that are all different takes. Otherwise, it feels like you’re just comparing the same version of the same song! 😂😂 As always, an entertaining vote from my favourite Fraggle!! ❤️❤️

I must say, I’m usually down for a punk version of things, but that one was … pretty bad. My vote goes to Katrina and the Waves, although, I also don’t mind the Leona Lewis and cast of whatever rom com movie this is (possibly also called Walking on Sunshine?) because it looks cute and makes me want to watch the (likely) horribly trashy but fun movie… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wSzBGZwWD4
