Interesting/unique covers

[DrGonzo]

I always enjoy it when a band from a very different genre covers a song in their own style and makes it work. I would love to hear some of your favorites. Here are some of my mine.

The Derailers: "Raspberry Beret". Think Prince meets Buck Owens.

The Gourds: "Gin and Juice". Hillbillys do Snoop and they do it well.

They don't start jammin until about the 2:00 mark


The Replacements: Just about anything. Their live shows were full of bad, drunken covers of whatever popped into their heads (I once heard them do Free Bird). This could be pretty annoying if you paid to hear them and weren't in the mood for it, but it also could be funny as hell.

So, Space Captain is one of my favorite songs from Mad Dogs. I willing to bet i'm the only person in Amercia that has 3 versions of Space Captain on his phone

Here is the original written by Mathew Moore, then Leon Russel and Joe Cocker truned it into a classic

Doesn't change anything about Susan she is awful

Here is the third version from a teenage Rock Camp. This kid has a great voice. What I liked is the camp director picked a song that was 45 years old and the kids picked up on it

Oh, and for the record Susan Tedeshci is still terribad, nothings changed since my last post

not really a cover but a different type of remix that isn't bad. I don't expect many of you to like hip-hop but whatever. thought it was cool.
