Surprising Cover Versions

This one is remarkable for how close to the original it is. TR is a friggen genius!

 

Megadeth covering Nancy Sinatra

 

That Shatner cover of Peter Schilling's song is hilarious!







And I always preferred this to the original:

 

i've no idea why i like this.
Royals - ("Sad Clown With The Golden Voice") - Postmodern Jukebox Lorde Cover ft. Puddles Pity Party - YouTube

 

and how can you no like this?
Elbow Independent Woman - YouTube

 

Ha, yeah. That, cocker spaniels and motorbikes should be available on NHS prescription for depression.

It also brought this cover version to mind. Weirdly, though now I struggle to recall what I did last week, almost 30 years later, I could still remember all the lyrics.

 

These do a load of great covers
The Bird and the Bee - I Can't Go For That (Album vers., HQ) - YouTube

 

Check out their mashups

 

Saw these a few years back, great show.

 

I love the original of that song and the ukulele arrangement is interesting but IMO the singer doesn’t have a great voice, which is a bit too nasal/heady and flat. I did chuckle at the “Come with me, bring a ukulele” lyric change though

 

Notorious B.I.G’s “Juicy” redone with Covid themed lyrics

 

I,ll add this better than the original
