Music The music thread

Was looking at a few Halestorm clips on Youtube when I came across this one:



It got me thinking of cover versions bands have done over the years of songs you'd never expect them to cover, ie. rock bands covering R&B songs and stuff like that. Not only that, but nailing them. Stuff like The Living End covering the theme song to Prisoner:



Or Frankenbok covering the 1990's Madison Avenue song Don't Call Me Baby:



This one is probably cheating a bit, but the Screaming Jets did an awesome cover of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" for Andrew Denton's Musical Challenge:



Anyone know of any other examples?

How about this great cover by Mick and the boys?

The original is a beauty, and this was a surprise by the Stones, but true and excellent

 

[Vdubs]

This cover is almost better than the original, which I love


Tom wrote this, dedicated to his wife, but the Boss nearly owns it

 

[Vdubs]

Who hasn't covered this?
But has anybody nailed it quite like Jeff Buckley?

The original is pretty special nevertheless

An early 90's band Caligula covering Smokey Robinson's "Tears of a Clown":

I've either read or heard somewhere that Leonard Cohen thinks this is the best cover of it he's heard:

 

[Vdubs]

this song is unbelievably better than the powerful original, not for the faint-hearted, written by a bloke....

Found another Halestorm cover - this time they're covering Daft Punk's "Get Lucky:



Train doing a cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella":

Love this version of Tears for Fear's "Mad World"

Funny that, first time I heard this was at the movie Donnie Darko, and I've always thought this was the original by Gary Jules!

The previous page talked about songs relating to girls.

Here's another one.

Good topic.

That's like me with Jeff Buckley's cover of Hallelujah - always thought that was the original.

 

[Big Tom 2013]

This one would qualify as an unlikely cover. Johnny Cash doing a heartfelt version of NIN's 'Hurt'.
Might've been his last recording too, not 100% certain;

Original;

"Hurt" always reminds me of Rick and Morty Big Tom 2013 -it featured in the finale of season 2.

Another unusual choice of cover, Muse doing a Nina Simone classic.....

Hears a cover with a difference both bands have 2 of the same band members even tho the songs are played over 20 years apart.

Happy New Year Bots and music people. Hope you all have fun tonight.

This is my favourite daggy party song-

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Speaking of daggy party songs, can't go past this mid '90's gem.



Remember hearing it then.

Rock n roll will never die.

The previous page talked about songs relating to girls.

Here's another one.

For those that want to, let's do some songs with 'girl/girls' in the title or artist name. Great theme idea Redman.

Or extend it to include gender and roles in the family e.g. fathers, mothers, sons, daughters etc etc etc.

Can't say I like this song but it fits well in the family theme.

Happy New Year all.

One that fits the new theme;
