The weird cover songs thread.

[rugatika]

The internet: A truly vast and weird world.

And now...without further ado:

Kirsten Dunst. I'm Turning Japanese.

Like that version.

[mooseknuckle]

Me first and the gimme gimme's. These punk rockers cover anything and everything.

[jkav]

Awesome. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ainyK6fXku0)

[Edit: Or, really, William Shatner covering anything. Like Bowie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1moHWpLv-w). Or Queen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmPOWJtsEGc).]

Yes! Great cover IMO.

An improvement more than a cover IMO but still different.

[Okotokian]

Good cover

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=o22eIJDtKho



Now how about Pat Boone doing "Enter Sandman"????
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z67IqrmygZY&feature=player_embedded

Or Paul Anka doing "Smells Like Teen Spirit"?

The other 2 just kind of sad. But also hilariously stupid (?).

[AdverseCity]

How about a violin and actual singing cover of one of the most annoying rap songs of all time.
https://youtu.be/3ke-sS8dPKk

Maybe a very soulful cover of Knockin on Heavens Door.
https://youtu.be/mknLaFJZ4v4

There's always the old Jamacian who does reggae covers of Nirvana.
https://youtu.be/-dfoRHGFSZs


These are all "odd" covers but I still enjoy listening to them occasionally, it's refreshing to hear songs done in a totally different style.

[roger]

Youtube that simon and garfunkal song 'sound of silence' by disturbed.
David draimon is incredible vocals and
Made this horrid song bearable.

[Brad6510]

If there are any metal fans on the board, check out "Frog Leap Studios" on YouTube. His covers are epic!!

[BigRedJeep]

Certainly not weird. Probably the best cover song to ever have and will be made. We all need a little cash these days
http://youtu.be/vt1Pwfnh5pc

Major metal fan here. Got tons of awesome cover comes to mind. But this is always my number one!

[Riverbc]

Yes, it's a great cover.

[BigRedJeep]

Another gooder!
http://youtu.be/rgFQ6WmxdMs
I could go on with covers all night.
Deftones cover Drive by Cars!
http://youtu.be/cHiP3_-N0Vc

[BigRedJeep]

Last one tonight.
Scott Weiland and Stp cover Andy Warhol by David Bowie!
http://youtu.be/UzhZx591rIQ

Scott Weiland was a major influence in my life. I was crushed when I heard his inner demons took hold. I know he's in a better place now. His music has gotten me through the tough spots in my life and always will. Scott has always had huge respect for Mr David Bowie he was a legend. May these two souls rest in peace.

Metal cover of "Uptown Funk"

[Matt L.]

I'll have to check that out.

[bubba 96]

Yes, it's a great cover.

[Janitor Pants]

Probably NSFW but Ron Jeremy covering Miley Cyrus' 'Wrecking Ball' is definitely weird.

Anything by Richard Cheese. Type his name into YouTube. He plays awesome lounge covers of almost every genre of music.

The other 2 just kind of sad. But also hilariously stupid (?).

You really need to check out paul ankas covers (he also does eye of the tiger) somehow I ended up with the cd and its weird cause you find yourself singing along cause you know the words, but the tempo and instruments are something else!

I totally forgot about D**k Cheese, great covers in a very unusual style but still fun to listen to.

GnR's "Welcome to the Jungle" as a jazz/lounge singer style song.

Watched this on tv when it happened, was blown away with the cover. Perfect matching of guitars and voice.

Re watch this all the time.
