Travis baby one more time
Arctic monkeys love mchine
cradle of filth covered Heaven 17's temptation and cliff rishard's Devil woman....sheer genius
Black metal band Dark Throne covering Sioxsie's love in a void
silliest cover is this
there's a Lady GaGa song been done by The Melvins (or some such) - in the same kind of style as Alien Ant Farm's "Smooth Criminal". Shame I can't remember which one it is...
I win.
This is bloody awful.
She thinks shes so cool
actually that avril cover is about a gazillion times better than system of a down 😆
Nobody seems to like this at work.I think its better than the original.
that's alright, that is. Different to the original, which is one of two ways to do a cover version.
The other way is to do it note/beat perfect, and I don't see the point of that. may as well turn up to karaoke night / watch X-factor (same thing really). Except for Walk On By (above), which is sublime
I can't believe I got beaten to the punch.....by Brant 👿
"lost in muuusic-ahhh"
The Dandy Warhols covering Hells Bells is pretty superb

Bloody Maxray sterals my thunder with Lawnmower Deth's version of 'Kid's in America'!! 😡
Thankyouverymuch.....
I want to sleep with the woman with a voice like this:
Sorry Mick, but this version's just so much sexier....
0-3 down at half time, and this:
Still brings a lump to me throat....
Is it a proper cover version if you include your own words. And owls.
worth listening until the end (ok, 2:20)

There are load of covers which improve on the original
I can't believe you got away with that!
Blimey, unless I've missed it, I win!
Uklele Orchestra Of Great Britain; the rawkest non-rawk band going. Bastard good is what they are.
Go to see them . You will not be disappoint.
Just seen Little Roy (elderly Jamaican reggae chap) on Jools Holland covering Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box". That was quite interesting....
One for those up late!
Comedy covers aside - I still love this version of Superstar by Sonic Youth.
Thanks to Bob Mills for introducing me to it!
Most of the 60's great rock tracks by Zeppelin/Stones/etc were blues covers!
Love the ukulele orchestra
Many years ago, I recollect a group potentially called Leather Nun doing a cover of Abba's Gimme, Gimme, Gimme....it was great....
Can't corroborate the song but yes, i can confirm Leather Nun. It was a band Neil Linford, who was the coolest kid at school was championing in probably 86 or 87?
That just got wierder, when you see who introduces them. Didn't have him as being a swedish early death metal fan.
How about...
Or Hurrah Torpedo...
I was going to post their Dead Kennedys song, but swear filter and all that
Not a strict cover, but bloody good.
The Meads Of Asphodel covered Wonderful World, sang it like Louis but changed the lyrics.
Alice Donut did a superb cover of war Pigs but replaced Ozzy's vocals with a trombone.
Apocalyptica (4 Finnish Cellists and a drummer) covered David bowie's Heroes renaming it Helden and putting the vocalist from Rammstein to work on it in his mother tongue.
Dead Kennedys version of Viva Las Vegas is pretty good fun.
All well worth fishing out on youtube (as always, if I knew what I was doing I'd post 'em here meself).
