[Mr. Credible]

Take On Me- Ahha


Take On Me- Reel Big Fish

this song, when it was played on BASEketball (shut up, i loved that movie) introduced me to reel big fish, and "ska" music. i freaking LOVE their cover.

 

[JP]

Snow Patrol - Run


Leona Lewis - Run

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

Two fantastic classical metallica covers

One,


One cover apocalyptica


Nothing else matters


Cover by apocalyptica

one of my favorite covers ever!

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

Snow Patrol - Run


Leona Lewis - Run

wow, considering the version by snow patrol is one of my favorite songs ever, and bleeding love by leona lewis annoys the crap out of me, i actually really enjoyed that cover.

 

[Mr. Credible]

i don't know that i prefer this one to the original hotel california, but i definitely dig it:

[YT]4aFTQRkpy8c[/YT]

and i actually do prefer this one to the original, despite it being created solely for that poop-fest ghost rider:

[YT]xr1IBNZiBn0[/YT]

 

[Corey]

Don't Let Me Down:


Matchbox Twenty (Cover):


[YT]mw-GfMXsLHw[/YT]



The Beatles (Original):

[YT]riOnVUJAo3k[/YT]


Which one do you guys prefer?

 

[imaperson2]

I know, this is an annoying song nowadays but I always said to myself that this song needed to be played slower to have an effect....

Original by Rihanna

[JP]

That song has been covered by so many artists.

 

[gap5ewl]

Here's one I didn't know was a cover.

Erma Franklin (piece of my heart)
[YT]TcdHbDqZwhA[/YT]

and of course..

Janis Joplin w/Big Brother and the Holding Co. (cover)

[YT]ApfKglyNjyA[/YT]

It doesn't even sound like the same song. Anyways, Janis owns it.

 

[JP]

Honestly I love that song no matter who sings it. :heart:

 

[The Chairman]

Janis's cover of Ella's "Summertime" is superior to the original.

While we're naming older numbers, I'll submit this comparison:

The original:

[YT]WDYtXJ4-uC0[/YT]

The superior cover:

[YT]d4iXOGuHUQw[/YT]

 

[JP]

No.

 

[The Chairman]

Yes.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Disturbed - Down with the Sickness

[YT]Zzak8Gq3KO0[/YT]


The awesome lounge version, by Richard Cheese, from Dawn of the Dead.

[YT]Nza2LB4BAw0[/YT]

 

[Gilpesh]

Every time I hear Kanye West's stupid Stronger song I immediately say to everyone in the area...

DAFT PUNK DID IT FIRST AND BETTER.

Although this may be more of a sampling thing than covers... but really that song sucks.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Yes.

What would happen if Hayden Panettiere covers one of Frank Sinatra's classics?

 

[The Chairman]

What would happen if Hayden Panettiere covers one of Frank Sinatra's classics?

I'm not sure if I still like Hayden anymore, so it won't matter anymore.

And what does this have to do with anything?
