Inspired by https://bbs.boingboing.net/t/the-song-that-s-stuck-in-your-head-right-now and the fact that there’s a bunch of covers on there.
Have you got a favorite cover-song or two to share with us?
Something obscure? Something obvious? Share it here.
I’ll start with an obvious one:
Tori’s heartbreaking version of Real Men by Joe Jackson…
And John Cale’s canonical version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah…
Speaking of Martin Gore…
Oh! And Coil!
Oh shit… LAIBACH!!!
Laibach covers FTW
This Mortal Coil, too…
It’s a shame we never got to hear their version of Louie Louie.
And their cover of Song To The Siren is amazing! Love them so much.
Speaking of JD…
And Low covering Toto…
And TMBG covering Chumbawumba…
James Murphy knows how to do a great cover as well.
Does this count?
Scooter - The Logical Song
Yes!
Also, I always wished that the Erasure ABBA ep was a whole album…
Hell yes, why not… banging track.
This whole album was amazing…
Ah!
Fela cover (with one of his sons, Seun)!
Oh! From the BB main page…
OH! Negro Terror (an all Black oi! band from Memphis, RIP OMAR!) covering racist Oi bands (I think this is a Skrewdriver song)…
Joan Baez does Dire Straits
One of the best ever JD/NO covers!
