this one needs no real explanation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfK-UzQ48JE

I know not everyone shares my opinion on this one, but I really like RDA's cover of Wonderwall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gVxRvNfFLg

The new gold standard for covers. John takes this NIN song, turns it inside, invests it with a different sensibility and makes an unforgettable song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clq01TXQR0s

Stolen from another thread, but this is a forever cool song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o14hqYc96gE

Before Elton John became the mega-super star in the 70's, he tore it up on his first trip to the US http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMov-cPf_gY

I do so love the internet. For years and years I had heard the almost mythical stories about the Late Great Bobby Fuller and how he was one of the best performers before his untimely death (some say murder) Here is the proof in the pudding. Live from c. 1966 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr2PIyNSMaM

Cool covers galore this morning!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBeT4ptY9sY

I do love the Springsteen covers circa 1974-1978. Bruce was a student of the 60's popsong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmDqLjwrmZ8

This one made me grin!!!

How about another Bruce cover? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjN4HRcX7B0

I see your Kinks cover and raise you a Dylan cover http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr48uFCjBG4

Don't be defensive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYbYJCfOHh8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7iJ5WrXthY It's just that the "incongruous" label tends to open the discussion to really god awful covers. I want to celebrate the cover as a tribute and reinvention.

Pop Todd was interested in incongruous covers. How about really cool covers? (I'm not really sold on the video from a crappy James Franco movie...but it's about the song) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScZjneRNz08

Incongruous doesn't necessarily mean bad... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHRFZFmEq9o

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmK1ZFlsm3A I don't know if this is incongrous. Surreal maybe, but cool as hell.

Fair enough...however, the Three Dog Night cover isn't that bad. The vocals are a little strong, verging on overwrought, but on the whole, I think TDN does justice to the song.

Happy Birthday Bea!!!!

I was thinking of the "fuck me up" lyric...but they just killed the vocals there

It's really sad. First time I heard this chipmonk, I thought he might have a Ray Lamontagne thing going on. But boy, he just can't sing. I don't know if I have ever heard a song in J# before. OMFG
