popmybubble Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Does anyone know any interesting covers of songs? By interesting I mean sang in a different way, not just a straight forward cover... I really like Groove Armada's version of Crazy for You by Madonna.

TheWalkingMan Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Duran Duran's remake of the hip hop classic 'White Lines' Absolutely horrible... their high pitched voices made me wonder if they had, had the chop. TheWalkingMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgunn65 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 There is a music mag called Uncut which puts out a free CD most months with covers of songs on. This month it is the whole of the Beatles White Album covered. Check out Cat Powers cover of Satisfaction The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain covering Anarchy in the UK Nouvelle Vague doing the Clash's Guns of Brixton Jonny Cashs cover of Hurt by 9 inch nails is a classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still top quality though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I copy and pasted the link to the page itself, I would need to register to listen. Weird. OK click on this google link and then click the first result, the song should load and play. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&saf...amp;btnG=Search Enjoy!

jkinbkk Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Well, for me some of the most interesting cover versions in recent years are on the Paul Anka CD ' Rock Swings'. Not all the tunes he covers on the CD are a complete detachment from the original songs, but the 'swing' arrangement of the following 3 tracks I thought was impressive (being a fan of the originals and a swing fan). 1. 'Smells Like Teen Spirit" By Nirvana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPQR-OsH0RQ Original Nirvana (if you don't know the original, its worth comparing) 2. 'Love Cats' by The Cure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xUhptNqv7k 3. 'Wonderwall' by Oasis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c98S1fNFEQ0...feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
