Weird Covers
TrueNeutral:
So, me and my friends formed a terrible metal band a while ago, and so far, we've only been practicing some covers and all (mostly due to the fact that we're all wonderfully terrible), and we had this idea that we needed to make a weird cover album that will make most mainstream people go 'what the hell'?
After throwing around some ideas, we settled on three songs. We wanted to make an acoustic ballad out of Slipknot's Wait & Bleed (we don't really like the song, we just like the idea) and trash metal out of Back In The USSR by the Beatles and I Shot The Sherrif by Bob Marley. We also want to do something with EElS Dog Faced Boy but we're not sure what yet. Making it a lumbering doom metal song would fit, I guess.
So I was wondering, if you guys were out to make the weirdest cover album, which songs would you use, and what would you do to them?
Felix:
I'd try Let It Be, Mr Bungle way... Or a jam band version of the Bee Gee's Stayin' Alive.
Me and my friends had done a trash metal cover of Blink 182's Damnit once, and my friend's hardcore band once played an hardcore cover of a Green Day song. And I recorded a while ago an acoustic cover of Offspring's The Kids Aren't Alright, emo-whining style, with pathetics "wohoo" backvocals. It hurts my ears...
Kai:
What you do, is you take a fairly normal song (For this case I'm going to use Louie Louie) and you weird the hell out of it, Sun Ra/John Zorn/Zappa style. That's how I'd do my covers as soon as I get a band together.

Children of Bodom did a version of Britney Spears - Hit Me Baby One More Time.
I found it amusing.

The Number 12 Looks Like You did quite a nice job covering My Sharona. You should listen to it (And by you, I mean the collective you).
