Your favourite cover version from the most unlikely source.

[TIMMY]

Reminded of this classic

 

[Harry Angstrom]

Got to be "Common People" by William Shatner (Captain Kirk) for me.

Love Shatner's covers. Never hea4d that before. Utter brilliance as usual.

 

[Discopants91]

Lay Lady Lay by Ministry is topper.

 

[Chap78]

Sabbath’s Changes done by Charles Bradley is canny.
Band of gold Marcia griffiths
IDLES cry to me
Me and bobby McGee Janis joblings..
Grateful deed doing morning dew.
A few that I genuinely like. Like.

 

[Lord Alfred]

I recall finding this in my parent's record collection back in the 60's. A spoken version of The Beatles, Hard Day's Night by.....Peter Sellers. WTF

Best covers are ones that switch genres imo.

Be it turning a pop track into metal, or a rock track into jazz or something.

Lay Lady Lay by Ministry is topper.

That reminds me...

Have to say, a huge fan of Wuthering Heights, by China Drum.

And, straight from left field, How Soon is Now by t.A.T.u:

Love Spit Love (psychedelic furs) done a good version as well below

 

[fyl2u]

Dweezil Zappa featuring Donny Osmond on vocals, and guitar solos by Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa), Zakk Wylde (Ozzy, Black Label Society), Warren DeMartini (Ratt, Whitesnake) and Steve Lukather (Toto)

Dweezil had previously recorded the track with Ozzy Osbourne on vocals...

Love this album

Haha that's a cracker. Always liked the Billy Idol version, Anka does a canny job if you like a bit of Swing

 

[WildTurkey]

Charlene Soraia cover of The Calling’s Wherever You Will Go

 

[fyl2u]

Finnish metal band Turisas covering the Boney M track Rasputin...

Not got that one. I have Jazz Not Jazz but I wasn’t keen. Prefer their earlier stuff like Piano and Voice and their live stuff. Saw them live in a Edinburgh as a student, just two of them and a piano in an old church and it was spine tingling.

One of the bands I used to work with way back..... They got on as only brothers can(t)

I love Hue And Cry, I do.

I bought a jazz album of theirs, Next Move in a top-end hifi shop years ago. It was on Linn Records, Linn being a top-end hifi separates manufacturer that also releases amazingly-produced music to play on good hifi gear.

Awesome album. And actually it has an "unlikely cover" on it too, Sign O The Times by Prince. Looks like that one isn't on YouTube though.

Blue nile also on linn

 

[El Matador]

I've done this one on here before but....... it's a class cover. Gypsy Kings.

 

[Good Bloke Fairly]

The Pretty Reckless cover of Champagne Supernova
