Snake45 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 most listeners claim Warren Zevon did the best Werewolves of London, I think Adam Sandler did a decent cover. Yeah, I like that too. The night he did it on Letterman, they brought in Waddy Wachtel too, and there was a shot of Waddy standing over with Letterman's regular two guitarists and bass guy and it looked like an antiaircraft battery! I wish that were on youtube. I probably have close to 60 versions of Werewolves. On of my favorites is from 1995 when Zevon was touring with an Irish Band called Something Happens. They featured a Hammond B3 organ and made Werewolves sound like a Three Dog Night song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I would have bet ten thousand dollars that no white boy, anywhere, could even begin to do justice to Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing." I'd have lost. This is awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DMQNatt_tw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I didn't read all 12 pages, so I hope this one hasn't been "covered" already, but here's The Talking Heads doing Take Me to the River, originally written by Al Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 To my mind, this is the best cover of this song that has ever been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Here's an interesting cover of "Eye Of The Tiger" by the PS22 Choir. This is the coolest school music teacher in existence!

Snake45 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Even as I type, I'm listening on the radio to a weird mashup of the old Jackson 5 I Want You Back and Taylor Swift's We Are Never Getting Back Together. Imaginative and a little strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 I don't know how many of you guys know Crowded House. But this is a terrific cover of their song "Better Be Home Soon." I have no idea who this woman is, I stumbled across it while browsing youtube. This is a really good cover of the song... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveM Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Jumping in a bit late here. Here are a couple of "reverse Covers" Janis wasn't the first to sing Piece of my heart. This is the earlier version by Erma Franklin. Also Black Betty goes waaaaaay back before Ram Jam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Lectro Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Two covers for the price of one, and ripped from this week's headlines to boot: How the HECK did I not notice "Stay With Me" used the same chord progression as "Won't Back Down"? There was a period of time I would put "Won't Back Down" on repeat for most of the subway trip to work. I've heard "Stay With Me" often enough on thru car radio. Yet, I still never made the connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, I still never made the connection. First time I ever heard Stay With Me was on one of the singing shows like Idol last year...thought I'd heard it before but it took me a couple days to make the connection. Was reminded of it last night on the SNL "news" when they said that Petty and Smith have "settled." Petty and Jeff Lynne will now get a songwriting credit on Stay with Me and 12.5% of the royalties.

DaveM Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Two covers for the price of one. Blue Swede doing a medley of "Hush" by Deep Purple, and "I'm Alive" by Tommy James and the Shondells. and a foreign language cover of "White Punks on Dope" by the Tubes. Different lyrics to the same tune by the Nina Hagen Band. If nothing else, check out her earrings... Oh! Those wild and wacky early eighties!

DaveM Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The Dickies were a California band well known for being too fast and loud, and kind of proud of it. The were the masters of the overkill cover. Here they are making Paranoid even moe frantic than Sabbath! And here is their take on Knights in White Satin Wildest of all is their high speed thrash punk pop version of Sound of Silence. No live video to this one, but you can imagine...
