The Metal Heart and Burn In Hell covers own

 

[JingleBells]

Travis - Hit Me baby One more time, pure comedy

Earlier mentioned Graveworm have made some nice covers in there time yeah. A black metal band that does'nt take themselves that serious. I mean I dont think we are gonna see Mayhem make a Pet Shop Boys cover anytime soon.

Opeth has made a few, Soldier of Fortune, Circle Of Tyrants and Remember Tomorrow are really nice.

The best example of a horrible song turned great gotta be Jose Gonzáles version of The Knife - Heartbeats. Horrible synthish pop turned lovely acoustic guitars pop. Funny thing is Jose's own work does'nt have the same excellent pop writer talent and it's his best song imo. Kinda sad when your best is a cover isnt it? ( oh, and yes they are swedish artists so dont feel ashame if you didnt recognize em)

Lemonheads - Mrs Robinson
Faith no more - Easy, War Pigs
Manic Street Preachers - Bright Eyes, Raindrops keep falling, Theme from M*A*S*H

 

[Limbonic]

Burzum - Filosofem has a really nice cover.

 

[Wij]

No offence but Dimmu Borgir's cover of Burn in Hell is cringeworthy.

(see - I know my Black Metal now. I like Darkthrone for it's basicness, the operatic stuff gets on my tits a bit )

Outkast - Favourite Things... 4tehwinn \o/

btw - this thread == glen

Cake - I Will Survive. A lesson in how to turn a shit song into a great one.
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - I Believe I Can Fly. See above.
Mad Caddies - Build Me Up Buttercup. This is getting a tad repetitive.
Faith No More - Easy. Great for two reasons. 1) Patton's voice. Who on earth thought he could croon like a proper Vegas cabaret singer? 2) It was recorded to make their guitarist leave the band. Which he did. Skills.

The Darkness doing Street Spirit, or possibly Radiohead doing wonderwall p).

[Jonaldo]

Radiohead - Nobody does it better

 

[stubbyrulz]

[Aoami]

Radiohead - Nobody does it better

That's a nice...bless it.

Bjork - You only live twice (Nancy Sinatra, of Frank Sinatra fame)

 

[echo]

Manic Street Preachers - Theme From M*A*S*H
Clash - I Fought The Law, Police & Thieves
Beach Boys - California Dreamin'
Jesus And Mary Chain - Surfin USA, My Girl

 

[shanks]

Manic Street Preachers - Bright Eyes, Raindrops keep falling, Theme from M*A*S*H

Thought that one was called "Suicide is painless".

 

[echo]

Same thing, the track's called Suicide Is Painless, but it's the Theme From M*A*S*H..

 

[Gurnox]

Travis - Hit Me baby One more time, pure comedy

Mmmmmmm, hitting Travis

 

[Legott]

Jeff Buckley - hallelujah.

 

[yaruar]

Same thing, the track's called Suicide Is Painless, but it's the Theme From M*A*S*H..

The song itself was sung during the origonal mash film as part of an "assisted" suicide attempt.

Superb song.

Personal favourite covers of the moment?

Ramones (RIP Johnny) - California Sun
Disposible Hero's of Hiphopricy - California Uber Alles
Soft Cell - Tainted Love

 

[Fedaykin]

johnny cash - hurt

 

[Bullitt]

I rather like A Perfect Circle's cover of John Lennons 'Imagine'

Which can be heard: Here

But that might be slightly influenced by my 'fanboi-ness' for Tool/APC.

 

[Bodhi]

Forgot to add Lostprophets - Cry Me a River. Class.

 

[anattic]

Totally agree with the Jonny Cash and Jeff Buckley suggestions already made - I'd also add Elbow's cover of Massive Attack's Teardrop (short excerpt: [WMP] )

Yeah, that cover's great. Wish I could get a full recording somewhere.

 

[anattic]

It was on the chart-compatible (i.e. 2-track) CD single of "Not A Job", which came out in February. I'm trying to track a copy down at the moment.

 

[Bullitt]

Eagles Of Death Metal - Stuck In The Middle With You.

It's geniarse!

 

[Misleath]

Its sad that José Gonzales covers are his best songs. Heartbeats is already mentioned but his versions of Joy Divisions Love will tear us apart is great and his version of Bruce Springsteens Born in the USA aswell.

 

[PLightstar]

Prolly DJ Yoda's remake of the Thunderbirds Theme.

 

[oblimov]

The clash - I fought the law
