Songs: The Original Vs. The Cover

[BatsAndNights]

The greatest song cover ever made, in my opinion

 

[Breogan]

More of a sample.
And love the (staged or not I don't know) fun reactions that moment when people recognize it ...

 

[ComicChick]

this doesn't get the appreciation it deserves

 

[ComicChick]

and i've never heard this one before



Paramore Sunday Bloody Sunday

 

[Kane52630]

I don't even know what the original sounds like and I don't feel like knowing.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Though not a cover, I do love Mike Shinoda’s remix of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy The Silence”

It’s just as good as the original I think

 

[GunBlade]

[Dr.]

The original Come On Eileen (1982) was by Dexys Midnight Runners. This is a pretty solid cover — and energetic live performance — by Sugarland.

I really dug the covers from Trevor Something and KI Theory

Maybe there should be a remix thread because while this is not technically a cover, it's an incredible redo by Miami Nights 1984 of an already perfect song.

Do these count?

Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" for "Carousel". I don't know who else did it, but the great Roy Hamilton won a talent show in Harlem when he sang it. I suppose it's "possible" someone did another, better version, but I kinda doubt it.

Listen

She did do one, but it didn't have that many songs. It's on Spotify and Apple Music.
