Eastwood made some remakes of these La Bayes. I wanted a bass version so bad but I was broke when they where making them (limited run).

"In the Summertime" cover by international band Fatal Mambo (the vocals are in French, but the music sounds like a combo of Latin flavors). LOVE this :love:

Yeah it was a kick starter as I know it with some modifications suggested by Bob1. Still it means there is a new influx of 2x4 with maybe more being made if popular vs buying an original super rare one.

On the most opposite side of possible suggestions from me that's better than the original....
Me and My - So Many Men


Original by Miquel Brown

La La La Human Steps - "I'm Waiting For My Man"
 

Glad to see this made the ranks.

But my all-time favorite incredible cover is David Lang's avant-garde performance of Lou Reed & VU's "I'm Waiting for My Man" that appears exclusively on the Amelia DVD by La La La Human Steps.

Edouard Lock and his experimental dance troop produced some wildly original works between 1980 and their retirement in 2015 (due to lack of funding.)

I've just secured a copy of the famous DVD. It came at a hefty price but will be treasured for years to come.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire, covered by Mr. Little Jeans.
Its a darker deeper version.

Joanne Jett and Paul Westerberg - Lets do it.

Tank girl the movie has had a huge influence on my musical ears.

Metallica - Turn The Page
Steven Wilson - The Guitar Lesson
Screaming Trees - Tomorrow's Dream (Black Sabbath originally)

Manson's Sweet Dreams
Orgy's Blue Monday

Pomplamoose - Come Together(Beatle's cover)

Hendrix' cover of Like a Rolling Stone at the Monterrey Pop Festival
Judas Priest's Diamonds and Rust off of Unleashed In The East
Slayer covering In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida off the Less Than Zero soundtrack

your wrong for that one hw

Siouxsie And The Banshees covering Bob Dylan's This Wheel's On Fire from their Through The Looking Glass album (1987).

Nirvana - Man who sold the world

Sorry, if somebody posted it earlier. She is amazing!

I've heard a lot of great covers but the one that stand out in my head surprisingly is Shinedown. I'm not really a huge Shinedown fan, per se, but their cover of Simple Man originally by Lynyrd Skynyrd was extremely impressive. Especially when I'm a big fan of the original.

Devo - [I Can't Get No] Satisfaction - far superior to the original in every respect.

Here is one more great cover. Lindsey is a genius

:thumb:

Damn it - I searched for "Satisfaction" before posting. Curse you and your subversively non-descript videos!

Excellent taste, btw.

DEVO is love, DEVO is life.

on the subject you can add this to the mix :)

and this

Original



Cover

This


is better than this

I thought it was a novel take, it's OK but not "far superior to the original."

@Kedvesem, weird we were just talking about this in the Willie Nelson thread in the Country/World Forum.

Hey look, a listenable version of Happy.

No.

Yes.

i agree....no

it's not that Cash's version is not amazing....it is amazing and takes that song to a completely different feel and level...but the original encompasses pain so perfectly

Idk, I don't think NIN's cover was that great.

Trent Reznor's vocals blow me away every single time I hear the track. He puts so much vulnerability in his voice and he sounds so weak. Not to take anything away from Cash, as bob. said, his version is great as well, but for it's own reasons.

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Did you completely ignore the posts above you on purpose or?

I can`t say if this cover better or not than original song, but I love how Jasmine is singing it.

Very interesting mix of dance music and violin.

Gary Clark Jr - If Trouble Was Money
