Gets going after about a minute of an ambient take on the theme, then it takes it to places that I never imagined.

To be fair... I kinda hate the original.

And this one's just straight up excellent.

I dislike Katy Perry's Roar, but this cover is better than the original.

Some Tetris Ska

Sinéad O'Connor- Nothing Compares to U
I started to do that one in my solo set. Cool song

I absolutely adore these covers by Nancy Sinatra. She is a real darling.

My favourite version of These Boots.

TMBG covering Havalina by The Pixies

I don't think it's better than the original but it's good enough.

Never even cared much for Nirvana's version, but this version is something I can get into.
