Covers... but with a difference

[Milkyway]

I quite often see a song performed in a totally different way, either vocally or as an instrumental.
(No Karaoke versions)

Like this...

Stayin' Alive.

Because disco always needs more drums and guitars…



And because original isn’t always the best…

The Dickies - Eve Of Destruction





Sid Vicious - My Way

Jose Feliciano's bash at The Door's Light My Fire is sublime.

Vanilla Fudge's mangling of The Supreme's You Keep Me Hangin' On has a pleasing pompous discordancy.

Love the Talking Heads, but this version is actually not a million miles away from the original.

Love their Covid lockdown version of The Model by Kraftwerk. Each member doing their bit from home

I had heard of the Blue man group, but never really listened to any of their stuff. This is amazing, I really wasnt expecting it to be so good.

Someone on PH posted this a while back and I just clicked the link for a listen - and had a similar reaction to you - just soooo good! How to turn a disco classic into a proper rock track
