Puddles Pity Party
I don’t know if we’ve ever really addressed the question of whether performing a standard counts as doing a cover. Seems relevant to the season.
Anyway, here’s Emilio Santiago doing Bananeira:
So glad i found this post… crazy how many songs i thought were originals are just great covers and the OG is awesome too.

Yael Naim - Toxic by Britney Spears

I’ve had this earworm all morning for some reason. Then figured it was probably a cover.
Good news, it is.
Originally Johnny Kidd and the Pirates.
Bonus Mutant material: check out Lemmy’s T-shirt.
I knew he was one of us!
Weirdly, I kinda hope there’s a proper video for that version.
I might be a little scared to watch it, though.
This was yesterday at a small function.
I swear, there’s not a song she can’t cover making it her own while staying true to the original.
I also recommend listening to this if you like that song in that film.
It doesn’t have Wong Kar Wai in it but it does have Christopher Doyle and the guitarist from the Cranberries among others.
