Sisters of Mercy cover Hot Chocolate!

One of my all time favourites.

 

[rkangel]

Faith No More v The Commodores

And another. Proves just how great Mike Patton and Lionel Richie are.

 

[kuepper]

Oh good grief, that’s simply atrocious!!!

They played it on their MTV unplugged and plenty of youtube of them doing it with Ronnie Wood !

Brodie Milner - Running Up That Hill

The Rah's cover Buffalo Springfield 'For What It's Worth' - BBC Radio Merseyside.

Suppose this doesn’t really qualify as a unusual one. The whole thing is different.

Take away the toy music box tacky drum machine track. Bring in bass and drums that create a groove
deeper than a clown’s pocket….add some really serious player and off the wall vocals. Different.

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

Marvellous. Been a favourite for 30 years.

 

[Muttley]

Two for the price of one, Jeff Beck and Imelda May cover "Remember walking in the sand" (The Shangri-Las) and "Please Mr Jailor" (dunno who wrote it)

 

[Muttley]

So, welcome to Munchen here is your weekend stein of cold frothy bier and on comes the first act...

 

[rkangel]

After loving this song for decades I've just discovered it's a cover of Dan Hicks' (slightly faster) original. This remains my favourite.

Two for the price of one, Jeff Beck and Imelda May cover "Remember walking in the sand" (The Shangri-Las) and "Please Mr Jailor" (dunno who wrote it)

That's reminded me of

Jeff Beck - She's A Woman (Live) (High Quality)

Jeff Beck - She's A Woman (Live) from the BBC's 'Sing The Beatles'

[Muttley]

Rhiannon Giddens covers "Just The Two of Us" (Bill Withers)

Rather lovely I think.

 

[uncle_rico]

Not really that unusual but I’ve seen this live and he does it justice with the loop pedal…

 

[Billyzin]

Loved The Who as a lad, but this is probably the only cover version of one of their tracks I like.
Not usually a Limp Bizkit fan either.

 

[Ziggy]

When people sing this it’s all blaring horns, big drum rolls and grandiose seriousness,
One of the great voices of 20th century….just sticks on a drum machine, and gives it soul.
