cRaZy cover songs
 

Sometimes cover songs are better than the original, more times not. Other times they are so close to the original that you wonder why they bothered. Then there are the occasions where an artist totally puts their own spin on it or takes it to an entirely different genre.

What are your favorite cRaZy cover songs? Here's one of mine:

In particular, fat women.

Already beat you to the punch my dear :winkwink:

Ha, I took to long to finish....not uncommon for me...

Under the heading of songs you never thought you would hear:

Just a straight out great cover. I am a little bias because I love Placebo but even if I didn't, this is a 'wow' song.

The flying straws made me think of Beth from Alice. Cleanup was probably the biggest part of video budget:1orglaugh

damn, thanks for showing up in my youtube cover songs thread just yesterday.

Damn, I'm old... My mom had the original on reel to reel like in this video:upsidedow

richard cheese is awesome

That was fun! Reminded me of Bette Midler doing Andrew Sisters:)

Someone has caused me to spend more than a few hours scouring Spotify for cover tunes this past week.

Erroneously credited to the Sex Pistols (was on the soundtrack to their film "The Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle), but actually by Tenpole Tudor:

I'd been planning to do this for a bit, wasn't your thread about acoustic versions?

I was actually thinking about this when I started the thread:thumbsup

My personal favorite:

They've done so many great covers, it's hard to pick a favorite:thumbsup

I do agree, but this one is by far my favorite...for sentimental reasons, of course.

I always get a laugh from this one.

Oh hell YEAH! Gabba gabba hey!:thumbsup

I loved when he did this:

No "and the rest" here:upsidedow

Been Caught Stealing by them is one of my most favorite videos ever:)

Lots of good ones. The Johnny Cash version of NIN "Hurt" is one of my favorites. :thumbsup

Bruce Springsteen is a huge entertainer, but two of his songs, I felt were done even better as covers:

Because the Night:



Spirits In the Night:



A couple of Iggy Pop covers:





A few great Simon and Garfunkel tunes covered:





Some more cool covers...





This was a great re-mix:



Of course, some covers makes you just go... :helpme

The cowboy junkies version of sweet jane was done so simply and is so intense. Recorded on a four track in a church.

From the early days of MTV's 120 Minutes:

My favorite by him is:

Always loved this version of her video, my friend and I always joked about getting one of those spinny things for our party room:

1974 cover of BJ Thomas hit. (Ogga Chugga Ooga Ooga) ;p



Starland Vocal Band - Excellent Cover of Paul Simon's American Tune.



Santa Esmerelda - 15 minute Disco/Latin Cover of Animals Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - Which was a cover of Nina Simone's original version



.

Great song and great video! Hell, now I need to go watch the video again.

:)

What a frustrating person....

I love both versions of this equally

The Scissor Sisters run with Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb:



You can never get too Comfortably Numb (Dream Theater & Queensryche):

I liked Bat for Lashes's version of I'm on Fire
