Covers - odd and unusual

[andburg]

We have a thread for covers better than the original and I've posted a couple of oddities so i thought I'd start a new thread

Give us your covers / reinterpretations, the odder the better

I'll start us off with this, not a bad effort and certainly different...ought to be better received they the Northern Kings cover of i should be so lucky.

Avantasia - Lay all your Love on me (ABBA) - https://youtu.be/UUG2dq_kAWs

Thin Lizzy fan,I like Sade BUT her cover of Still In Love With You was bad,very bad.

[Amused2death]

Scissor sisters murdered Pink Floyd's "Comfortably numb"

[cherie171]

Absolutely anything done by The Everly Pregnant Brothers. Every song they've covered will be forever ruined as you find yourself singing their alternative lyrics.

You'll have to look long and hard to beat Rolf Harris covering the Divinyls' I Touch Myself.

sort of enjoyed the first minute but it became more of the same, certainly an odd one!

Most of the Postmodern Jukebox covers would fit here . I'll go with their version of Radiohead - Creep.

Ah yes, I know of PMJ

I promised to take the better half to see them this year, so far covid has stopped that. I'm not booking tickets until things stop getting cancelled

Yes, and the "Top of the Pops" albums full of covers of chart hits. Someone who went on to become famous did one of them, but I can't remember who, or what song they performed on.

I'm a particular fan of Richard Cheese

Creep - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn40B9ugcrs

Down with the Sickness - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at02Fvdhk2I

Insane in the brain - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDeL36FykaE

The list is massive. It's one of my favourite go to playlists in the car (much to my daughter's disgust)

Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester takes some beating for odd and unusual covers, IMHO.

This interpretation of Britnay Spears song is an example;
