Unusual and GOOD cover versions

[mx wcfc]

This was a real WTAF!!!!! moment for me just now.

The Rezillos' "Somebody's gonna get their head kicked in tonight", off their 1978 debut LP



is a cover of a Fleetwood Mac song!

 

[blossie33]

The original Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Jeremy Spencer singing - he used to do a bit of rock and roll sometimes, in between all the blues stuff they did

 

[Siouxsie]

I was at a friends birthday weekender and she was having a brat pack dodgy old video afternoon .... this stood out

I think I’ve got that version on a cassette somewhere.

No mention of the entire NightCore genre

I'm a great believer that pretty much any song can be improved by pitching it right up and adding chipmunk vocals.

 

[BassJunkie]

This is most unusual and makes me guffaw and weep uncontrollably.

How did this happen? Was Wayne Coyne a music teacher at some point?

Another school cover that deserves to be on this thread:

i saw your post & thought it was bout the blitz classic



& had a double wtf-moment.
listened to the alleged original - '...cover? bit of a stretch..' before rereading the post & gettin my punk bands sorted...

No one fucking reads anything properly anymore.

no kidding.

Didn't know the song, so quickly checked it out and this version is so much better. Top cow bell action.

Definitely sufficient cowbell!

 

[Siouxsie]

Been done by so many singers....this is my favourite version

 

[Siouxsie]

 

[hash tag]

In response to a comment elsewhere, I don't know about having a thread dedicated to covers of Zeppelin tracks but there must be dozens of covers to Stairway!
Oh, to be going on with, another Zeppelin track; When The Levee Breaks

 

[hash tag]

Another track which has probably been covered a thousand times. Yes another Perfect Circle number - Imagine (its grim)

 

[The39thStep]

 

[Orang Utan]

Not heard that before. Not as awful as I expected, but it’s not even close to Grace Jones’ version

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Nouvelle Vague are on tour at the moment - they do loads of really good covers.

Surprisingly ok imo but yes not as good as Grace's.

 

[Siouxsie]

Saw them last night in Manchester...I've been meaning to put this here for ages but suspected I'd get slated, I've changed my mind..here it is

 

[Sasaferrato]

 

[hash tag]

Nothing else matters - perhaps this should be in girls that don't rock. It's grim
