Your favorite covers!
BEFORE POST EDIT: I'm not gonna even bother waiting for the shitstorm that this might produce and just go ahead and say I'm saying this jokingly. I am not THAT stupid. That is all.
I am really proud that this didn't get mentioned until the second page.
Wasn't Cash's version the cover, anyway? In my world it's not, but...
Step back. Evaluate. Recognize.
I'm not gonna lie, I dig this The Who cover by Limp Bizkit.
I liked that one too. I also liked the Guns n ROses cover of sympathy for the devil.
Ooh, Reel Big Fish's Hungry Like the Wolf!
Coil's cover of Soft Cell's cover of Tainted Love.

Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
I just got this. I figure it's the first CD i've actually bought in almost 5 years, It's ALL covers and ALL awesome!
Oh, that's a good one.

I was listening to this on the way home from work:
Good coffee is like drinking Rock and Roll.
You can't get any more fabulous than covering a song already done by Judy Garland and Ella Fitzgerald. I have to be in a mood for this.
I Can't Give You Anything But Love:
Good coffee is like drinking Rock and Roll.
What mood is that?

I don't know if this counts because she's just some girl from youtube...but I love this. Not only because it's a Justin Nozuka song, but because she really does an amazing job of covering it:
A cover is a cover! Nice voice. Why can't I sing like that?
Um...fabulous?
Sometimes I go through these phases where I just go around singing Ella Fitgerald versions of songs. It's really delightful to witness.

Well, I don't have one so you're out of luck.
There are still words I can't say. I know what they are but I can't say them because I can't form the words properly.

Because you're already the epitome of cute! If you're also an amazing singer that would just blow people's minds away. You don't wanna give people cute-heart attacks do you!?
They're building this now, it appears.

I've been using that site to look up cover songs. There are a lot I didn't realize people had done.

Are the scissors broken in your house, son?
I really wish I had my OG Gameboy now so I could get LSDJ and rock some tunes...
Any song the Ramones played that they didn't write.
Also, listen to incesticide by nirvana- the covers he has on that album are neat.
I really like this cover:
These are songs from musicians I really like. Plus their covers are pretty damn amazing. I suggest for anyone to top these.
Tortoise & Bonnie Prince Billy - Thunder Road
Mugison - Little Trip to Heaven
Nick Cave - I'm Your Man
The Dresdon Dolls - Life On Mars
Sweet Dreams (Are made of This) by Marilyn Manson (Original by The Eurithmics)
"What you don't understand you can make mean anything."-Misty Marie Kleinmann
Ben Folds - Bitches aint shit
No youtube link because of the IT Nazis.
I found this guy on the interweb today, and he does some sweet shtuff with a violin and loops.
Sharing is caring.
Obviously but this is a thread about covers.
Kula Shaker - Hush
Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower
Yes, I want to play. I really, really do.
ha i can't believe they covered stay fly
I curse the last six months
I've been hiding behind a mustache, yeah.
Maybe one of my favorite covers to ever be made.
This one is alright, but there's a much better version on his Life In Tokyo CD.
!
I was about to listen to a song when I got reminded of this thread! Since the song is a great cover, it needs to be posted here.
Sivert Høyem - The House Of The Rising Sun
I Found A Reason by Cat Power
Hi, How Are You?

I don't know if any of you've heard of Julia Nunes, but she's pretty big on Youtube. She plays the ukulele, and she harmonizes with herself. It's incredible. And I love her.
I think there might be a Lady Gaga reference toward the end of this one. So this one is for Levi. I'm not sure, though. She is the one with the Disco-stick, right?

I think I may have a new favorite cover ever. The Casey Crescenzo of The Dear Hunter covering The John Elton's Adios, Road of Yellow Bricks.
Hear the glory:
