Most Unusual Cover Versions

[ElectroNymph]

This gets my vote: Portishead covering ABBA? Still, it was a tribute to the murdered Jo Cox, so very poignant.

They did. Black Holes is still my favourite album by them, though.

Not usually a cover version kind of guy, too much shite amongst the Gold! But Carter the unstoppable Sex machines cover of Pet shop Boys "Rent" is fantastic (I always described them as a sort of punky Pet shop Boys, and I'll forgive Jimbob for being Crystal Palace, COYL!!!!!) as well as "bed-sitter" by softcell , and I vaguely remember a cover of Oasis "wonderwall" by a sort of spoof artist in the 90's. Never cared for Oasis though, first Album was pretty good I suppose, but that's for another thread.

Haven't heard C.T.U.S.M's version of "Rent", but that Oasis cover was bizarre. I liked their first album too, but when I realised that they were one trick ponies, I stuck with musicians who try different things.

How's this for weirdest cover..... William Shatner sings Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.  Could be the worst ever. So bad that it's good!

This is the most beautiful version I've heard and I think it deserves to be included.x.

Can we have a "dislike " button??!?!?!???? Ideal for the attack of the acappella covers in adverts, if not used already aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggh!!!!!!!

Come on now be fair Silent Night is a hidden track on Damien's first album with some pretty raw lyric changes. He's not the sort to sell out either. And speaking of Damien I know this strictly isn't a cover but it's a tribute to the late great Cohen. I think it deserves a place

Hammer,I am being fair!!!! ? ? ? Don't take offence, I really am pulling your leg, it just made me pish myself, I posted about these types of covers a while back and how much they generally disgust me on some shite advert. You can't like everything, and I'm no music snob either.

I am a bit of a music snob, but adverts do my head in. Either awful music/jingles, or one used The National's "England" which I love. Stupid Apple.

I like metal cover versions of popular songs. By far my most favorite is I Prevail’s version of Taylor Swift’s Blank Space.

Johnny Cash covering NIN. Chilling and very unexpected.
