    I’m partial to Sparks doing ‘We are the Clash’

    Pete Wylie does a good ‘Stay Free’

    Better even than Chicory Tip

    Anything by the Ukulele orchestra of Great Britain

    Another ‘Heroes’ cover, although this is more of a mash up really

    The Polyphonic Spree are always rather weird.

    Another one I love, the original is my favourite song ever but this is a bit of fun!

    I’d call this weird, maybe a travesty even

    Blood makes noise is a bit of an earworm, my other half declared it a din initially. I later caught her singing it.

    Always liked this- Cover of ‘Blue Monday’ using 80 year old instruments and technology

    That Blue Monday thing reminds me, the live playing of an electronic composition (by Eno) that was never meant to be performed

    Nina Simone doing George Harrison’s My Sweet Lord (albeit as a part of a meddaly) is possibly my favourite bit of music:

    Then there’s also this, Pipoliti Rist covering Wicked Game, which is deliciously weird:

    Land of confusion by Katzenjammer. Superior to the Genesis offering in every way.

    No argument with that, brilliant band, the live version is fantastic.

    How about Cheshire Chord’s version of I Predict A Riot’?

    Some of these are great. That Gin and Juice cover had me laughing.
