I have a pretty hilarious cover of Snoop Dogg's Gin and Juice done by some ska band that I know not the name of.


My copy says it's by Barenaked Ladies.  Since it sounds just like them, I tend to believe it.   If yours has a lot of banjo in it and is sung like a country song, you have the same one I have.

That would *actually* be Phish.  BNL doesn't do the banjo, or really Country.

Actually, the honky-tonk version of "Gin and Juice" is by an Austin band called The Gourds. It was on an aught-one release called "Shinebox"

Quote from: mee-kay-la

Oh god. They are egotistical enough to think that they could cover "Another Brick"...?


Davis' voice ruined it entirely, though I did enjoy the fact that they covered the whole song (rather than just part 2) and also that their guitarist (the one who found God) pulled off the solo perfectly.

I was, however scandalised that they had to put up a huge teleprompt for the sing-along. My little sister knows the chorus od Another Brick in the Wall.

Actually, this brings up a question. Anyone got any Floyd covers that aren't Another Brick in the Wall or Comfortably Numb? Apart from one reasonably adept cover of 'Money' by a band I don't know that was on the soundtrack to the new Italian Job that's all I've heard.

Which is all opinion anyway. Which is the fun thing about forums. :)

And I must second whomever it was that mentioned Fiona Apple's cover of across the universe. That and the Dynamite Hack version of Boyz in the Hood.

There's always Brand New's Cover of Love Spit Love's "Am I wrong." But I won't 't say I like it over the original... because that would be a terrible lie.

And what jackass beats someone up over the kind of music they're listening to?

Black Flag's cover of  "Money (That's What I Want)" by the Beatles - done in a semi-Germanic deadpan...

Dick Hyman's Moog cover of  "BlackBirds" by the Beatles, also his cover of "Green Onions" is great.  The only thing wrong with the album in fact is the title "Age of Electronicus" which was just pretty lame, even in the so-called Age of Aquarius.

Joe Cocker's covers of lots of things, but especially "Bird On A Wire" (Leonard Cohen)  and "Cry Me a River" (Ray Charles).

If someone's going to cover a song, they damn well better make it their own.  Otherwise, why am I listening to their washed-out, washed-up version instead of the original?  To that end, from recent efforts I'd nominate Cat Power's version of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction".  Slowed to a crawl, stripped of the chorus - genius.

Going back into the classic rock-and-pop archive, Aretha Franklin's version of "Respect", originally written and performed by Otis Redding.  Obvious, yes, but how can you go past it?

Styx did a sweet cover of I Am the Walrus.

For my money, it's better than the original, but that might just be because of higher production values due to technology. But it still rocks pretty hard.

And I agree with the first poster in the thread. FNM's cover of Easy is awesome. Simply because Mike Patton's voice is as smooth as silk, and also incredibly freaking awesome. Mike Patton > Most.

three of my favorites actually both got passed up as of yet:

judas priest - diamonds and rust (joan baez)
the twangbangers - hot rod lincoln (commander cody - this song's bridge is about four minutes long, and includes 8-bar shoutouts to, oh, every artist ever.)
old 97's - el paso (marty robbins)

if you're ever in vegas and you like covers, you should cheeck out a local band called darby o'gill and the little people (yes, like the movie) - they play three times weekly, and they're an irish band who play traditional irish songs and covers.  if you haven't heard an irish band cover outkast, you haven't lived.

when i first discovered the gourds' cover of gin and juice it was labeled as string cheese incident.  go figure.

let's get the worst covers out of the way... Papa Don't Preach by Kelly Osborne, Sweet Child Of Mine by Sheryl Crow and American Pie by Madonna come to mind.  As does 911 Is A Joke by Duran Duran.  A bunch of whiter than white guys singing about their disapproval of emergency services response time in underprivleged neighborhoods - as originally critiqued by Public Enemy?  that one takes the proverbial spongy dessert.

now the winners:

has anyone heard Ben Folds Five's cover of She Don't Use Jelly?  I love the lips dearly, but Ben's arrangement of the song is incredible.  it came from a comp called Lounge-a-palooza.  another interesting lips cover is Postal Service's Suddenly Everything Has Changed, though that doesn't really compare to the original.  i think PS's Against All Odds is a better cover.

the Futureheads’ Hounds of Love is a favorite, especially live when they have the crowd sing their parts.  and witnessing the Shins perform Holy Diver at the Bowery last year was priceless.

i'm also a fan of the covers on blue man group's complex album with Esthero singing White Rabbit and Annette from Venus Hum on I Feel Love.  the album's got gimmic coming out the wazzo, but i dig it.

...my a cappella group does a mean Superstition.  no, really.

The Rolling Stones! The 6ths (Or was it the Mag Fields? Or one of Mr. Merrit's other bands?) did a cover of Don't You Want Me? that I adore. Just in addition to you mentioning them.

Micah P. Hinson-Pale Blue Eyes (Velvet Underground)
Pixies-Head On (Jesus and Mary Chain)
Calexico-Alone Again, Or (Love)
The Decemberists-Bridges and Balloons (Joanna Newsom)
Sleater KInney-More Thana  Feeling (I forget.)
The Bees-A Minha Menina (Os Mutantes)
OF COURSE Jimi Hendrix-All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan)
William Shatner-Common People (Blur)
The Byrds-Mr. Tambourine Man (Bob Dylan)
Frank Sinatra-Mrs. Robinson (Simon and Garfunkel)
Styx-I Am the Walrus
The Wailers(and everyone ever)-Louie Louie (Richard Berry... NOT THE KINGSMEN!)
Lou Barlow-Round n round (RATT)

yeah!
I am not saying that these covers are better than the original, I am just saying that I think they are pretty awesome.

KMFDM : these boots are made for walkin' {Nancy Sinatra}
Anno Dæmonicus : reptile {Nine Inch Nails}
Transient : closer {Nine Inch Nails}
Tin Electric : hurt {Nine Inch Nails}
Tori Amos : '97 bonnie & clyde {Eminem}

Well there's some great inspiration in these pages, enough to keep my net snowed under with downloads for a while :) As for my favourites:
Elton John and Queen - The Show Must Go On: A Queen track elevated to epic scale by Elton's harsher vocals, the booming orchestra background and sheer volume of noise. I imagine this song used in a war movie in the same way Ride of the Valkyries was used in Apocalypse Now.
Reel Big Fish - Take On Me: My favourite punk/ska cover, for being a great feelgood song and catchy summer ditty.
Metallica - Imperial March: A dark track made darker. Play LOUD.
Nickelback and Kid Rock - Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting: A louder, more ballsy version of the original.
Muse - Feeling Good: See above :)

Edit: Just noticed the Worst covers question. For my part, the very recent cover of Bohemian Rhapsody by G4 officially sucks donky gonads.

In that case, I'll say NIN's cover of Pigface's "Suck."  When they do it live, Pigface even plays the NIN arrangement instead of the original.

I have recently become obsessed with Ewigkeit's version of Burzum-Ea, Lord of the Deeps.

Entitled 'Ea 2000-Out for the Count' (referring to sole member of Burzum Count Grishnack) Ewigkeit takes Burzum's minimalistic, chilling black metal masterpiece and doubles the complexity of the drum part, puts clean vocals on it, and adds synths, samples, random electronic effects, and random cries in the background. Things like "Ea, Lord of the Fucking Deeps', "This One's for the count baby" and at at least one point a full-on pirate-style "Aaahhrrr'

So insanely awesome.
