Your favorite cover songs

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.

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.

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.

Possibly a cover of a cover. I love how insane this version is.

Wonderfully wacky and weird.
