Went down this rabbit hole from triple j and their Like A Version series…so many good covers. Here are my faves:
Baker Boy covers Blur - Song 2. This is a fast paced, really fun one that Baker Boy definitely makes his own.
Hermitude ft. Jaguar Jonze covers Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box. She has great vocals.
1300 covers Psy - Gangnam Style. I love the way they handled the vocal FX…watch the teamwork by the right singer at 55 seconds.
I use their cover of “Elfen Lied” OP as my ring tone.
I was wondering if they are still around, and well, two years ago they came out with Ghibli album:
Today I learned this exists.
That time Tom Jones and David Gilmour covered Purple Rain.
A cover in the loosest sense of the term, more of a transmogrification of the epic Cramps tune…
… and there’s a live version here
Ho-lee crap. Exactly what I needed tonight. Thank you.
Since Nickelback was mentioned so recently, I must:
Oh wow…I have some version of this in my memories, but it’s been covered so many times that I can’t find it. The distortion of time mean I may never find it…
Roger Daltrey is wandering around the US in small venues, his set list includes some covers.
The last big Who tour tickets were nuts, he’s at a small amphitheater near us, I can get decent tickets for 40 bucks.
He still sounds good.
Del McCoury Band - “Nashville Cats”
The Chaka Khan Tiny Desk post led me to discover this sizzler:
I don’t usually watch the Idol shows but this showed up in my news feed.
Everyone on stage is extremely talented, I also love hearing their accent as they’re singing.
There’s so much talent around the world.
Oh! they’re coming to ATL in December… well, Decatur at Eddie’s Attic! They seem delightful! Might be worth dragging my ass out to see them!
Possibly a cover of a cover. I love how insane this version is.
Blimey!
I’ve loved XTC for years, but had no idea this existed.
Wonderfully wacky and weird.
Not xtc, but in a very similar loony disco vein:
Ooh that reminds me have we posted this?

Does Robyn covering himself count?
And I just stumbled across this awesomeness:
