I do love a cover version of that song.

Ok, time for a new thread. (I may have done this once before but can't be bothered to check)

I am a big fan of interesting (and good) cover versions of songs. Of course there are those that are better than the original, but, many that are just plain interesting.

These have crossed my screen in the last 48 hours.

1. Bohemian Rhapsody in isiZulu. Ndlovu Youth Choir (imagining if Freddy Mercury had remained in Africa)


2. Layla Clark (Marimba) and Thomas Jefferson High School - Thunderstruck

 
Three off the top of my head.
This is way off track from Disturbed's usual music.
Gary Jules. He was #1 on Itunes and didn't have a manager when the song came out.
Johnny Cash
 
I have listened to Ndlovu YC, Disturbed and Volbeat this morning. I have the Sirius app playing Volbeat's station now. Why wasn't I notified about these people?

For me, it's the cover of all covers, Derek and the Dominoes performing Jimi Hendrix' "Little Wing".
• Eric Clapton: Lead vocals and guitars
• Duane Allman: Guitar
• Bobby Whitlock: Hammond organ and vocals
• Carl Radle: Bass
• Jim Gordon: Drums

 
This started playing right after I listened to Derek and the Dominos' 'Little Wing' cover.

The Main Squeeze cover:
 
Off to a great start! I think the cover of Mad World is way better than Tears for Fears and find it deeply troubling at the same time. (It is on my list of songs with troubling themes that are beautiful pieces of music at the same time - Cocaine, Don't Fear the Reaper, Golden Brown (stranglers), Under the Bridge (chili peppers) to name a few.

Now back to the music

Somebody I Used to Know (Walk off the earth)


And pretty much anything by Post Modern Jukebox


 
Well good morning all! (or whatever time it is where you are). Speaking of time (see what I did there), I sat down for my morning coffee, this song popped into my head. I know I have posted it before, one of my favourite covers of one of my favourite songs.


BTW if you haven't read of the connection between India and Dave Brubeck:
