Unusual and GOOD cover versions

[andysays]

Jones covers Numan

 

[tomtraubert]

Nina Simone covering George Harrison's Isn't It A Pity

 

[killer b]

Is this a cover? It's Devo playing Neil Young's 'Hey Hey My My', but with Young on guitar.

Anyway, it's amazing.

 

[rekil]

School of rock franchise youngsters being more Fugazi than Fugazi themselves

Spoiler

 

[killer b]

it's not actually that good is it though? it's just funny to hear school of rock type teens doing fugazi.

I like the incongruity and it's a great performance you monster.

Punked up covers don't really count as unusual but the ramones rescued My Back Pages from Dylan's wheezing and breezeblockfisted strumming.

[killer b]

the incongruity presumably appealed to the producer who decided they should play it too.

 

[Orang Utan]

Excellent new cover version of Oooh Jeremy Corbyn:

 

[hash tag]

By Switzerland's No.1 band, possibly, a rock cover of S O S by Gotthard

 

[JuanTwoThree]

 

[Idris2002]

Johnny Halliday - "Fils de Personne" - that's French for "Fortunate Son", as originally sung by Creedence Clearwater Revival.



Who says the French can't rock?

Another shout for disturbed

 

[andysays]

This one really is unusual

 

[andysays]

Two versions of Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King

 

[blossie33]

Interesting versions!
The original classical piece takes me back to junior school when our class did a dance performance to it for the parents one year

 

[killer b]

Bonnie Prince Billy & Bill Callaghan do a nice cover of Steely Dan's Deacon Blues here

 

[Tankus]

theres an hour long version



just leave to chill in the background , saves hitting the repeat button every 5 min
It never occured to me that golden brown was on the back of take 5

 

[Part 2]

 

[billy_bob]

That's quite good. It inevitably needs to be followed by Boy 8-Bit's 'Phantom of the Opera':

 

[Orang Utan]

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Just been reminded of this. Prefer it to the original.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Not all their Smiths/Morrissey covers work, but I think this one does.
