Songs: The Original Vs. The Cover

[DeadlyWest]

The greatest song cover ever made, in my opinion

 

[Breogan]

More of a sample.
And the (staged or not I don't know) fun reactions...

 

[ComicChick]

this doesn't get the appreciation it deserves

 

[ComicChick]

and i've never heard this one before



Paramore Sunday Bloody Sunday

I don't even know what the original sounds like and I don't feel like knowing.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Though not a cover, I do love Mike Shinoda’s remix of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy The Silence”

It’s just as good as the original I think

The original Come On Eileen (1982) was by Dexys Midnight Runners. This is a pretty solid cover — and energetic live performance — by Sugarland.

Maybe there should be a remix thread because while this is not technically a cover, it's an incredible redo by Miami Nights 1984 of an already perfect song.
