Sandie Shaw's version of 'Sympathy for the Devil'

Oh, and more recently, Portishead's brilliant version of Abba's 'SOS':

there are a few here 🙂

Mind you I only remembered that because it is so distinctive, but I didn't really get on with it

It's a bit good, isn't it?

First time I heard Wyatt playing it, it stopped me in my tracks.

Always think this is simultaneously the best and most ridiculous cover version ever made

Comfortably numb by the Scissor Sisters ?

Painful! Was she holding her nose?

A tiresome dirge.

There have been suggestions it was revenge on her record company for making her do Eurovision...

Reggiegasket - if you're talking covers of that, I prefer Sparklehorse's version:

I've been listening to this a surprisingly large amount recently:

Lawnmower Deth, 'Kids in America'

Good grief Pyro, as much as I love sparklehorse, that's [i]****[/i]. Is John Peel playing it at 33 instead of 45?

Pyro, I think you need to get in touch with [url= http://www.slatergordon.co.uk/personal-injury/injury-at-work/industrial-deafness-claims/ ]these guys.[/url] 😉

Meh. I have different taste in music to you. It's not a crime, y'know...

The ultimate unexpected cover has to be Richard Thompson's version of Oops I Did it Again.

That Disturbed thing is starting get the Joe Cocker treatment hereabouts.

Aphex Twin and Philip Glass have a crack at 'Heroes' by David Bowie:

Chamberlain – Talkin 'Bout A Revolution

Dammit... 😳

Delete the http in the single track video box

Cheers zippy. 🙂 great cover.

They can pull it off live as well:

I've seen a better version at Donington (on the telly), but this is still pretty good.

Quite apt at the mo...

Russel Watson and Sean Ryder doing Barcelona. Painful.

Homeless man singing radiohead?

Rush play Neil Young

Some of Frank Turner's covers of The Hold Steady songs are a bit unexpected, particularly as Frank can be stridently atheist yet there's a strong Catholic undercurrent in The Hold Steady's songs.

Personally, I love the Sparklehorse cover of Wish You Were Here, but I can see it not being to everyone's taste. I'm not sure that video has a particularly good encoding of it, but I'm not sure that can soley be blamed for Northwind and Spin's reactions. 🙂
