I Put A Spell On You [Marilyn Manson / Screaming Jay Hawkins] CREEPY COVER
Man, I totally found this last November but somehow in spite of owning the Lost Highway soundtrack for a dozen years, it escaped my notice until jafter Halloween. This song just screams Halloween!
Because you scream on Halloween … get it?
Monster Mash [Hayseed Dixie / Bobby “Boris” Pickett] CREEPY COVER
You know the banjos give this a Deliverance type feel, which is appropriately scary for Halloween.
Thriller [Duwende / Michael Jackson] CREEPY COVER
When putting together a list of Halloween songs or Creepy Covers in this case, one is morally obligated to include Thriller. So acapella style here it is, complete with the Vincent Price part.
Friend of The Devil [ Counting Crows / Grateful Dead] CREEPY COVER
Reality is this is a great song for Halloween. It’s called “Friend of the DEVIL” its originally by the Grateful DEAD, and it’s being sung by a WHITE GUY WITH DREADLOCKS!
Zombie [The City Shakeup / Cranberries] CREEPY COVER
Before the Walking Dead, there was … the Cranberries!
Stay With Me [Ed Sheeran / Sam Smith]
Ed Sheeran always reminds me of like a younger, but homeless, Ron Howard.
Take Me Home Country Roads [Brandi Carlisle and EmmyLou Harris / John Denver]
I still get Brandi and Belinda Carlisle mixed up.
Simple Man [Rhett Walker / Lynyrd Skynyrd]
In order to cover such a southern soung, you pretty much have to be named Rhett.
I Knew You Were Trouble [We Came As Romans / Taylor Swift]
Huzzah for another Punk Goes Pop Album! We’re up to volume 6 and I hope they’ll keep cranking these beauties out until at least Volume 7.
Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door [Guns And Roses / Bob Dylan] COVER TO COVER
Cover to Cover is the occasional feature here on undercoverwithcrut where I put back to back, two different covers of the same song so you can see just how different a song can be, covered. This week two takes on the Bob Dylan tune, “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” On version is sung by a stringy haired, skirt and wrist band wearing, pompous whiny voiced cunt, the other is by Avril Lavigne. Hay-yoooo!
You Oughta Know [1000 Mona Lisas / Alanis Morissette]
From the vault … July 7, 2011
The year was 1995. My first memory of hearing a song and knowing it was a cover and thinking it was totally smothered in awesome sauce. Here’s 1000 Mona Lisas covering the song that founded the genre of music known as “Angry Cooter Music”, You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette
Angel of Harlem [The Wiggles / U2]
From the vault … April 11, 2010
I honestly expected this to suck, but … Uhm, well it’s U2 being covered by the Wiggles. With no tongue in cheek.
Eleanor Rigby [Letters From the Fire / Beatles]
Dear Match and Gasoline,
Having a lovely time here on vacation, wish you were here.
- Fire
God Only Knows [Dave Grohl, Alison Balsom, Lorde, Pharrell Williams, Zane Lowe, Sam Smith, Paloma Faith, Eliza Carthy, Nicola Benedetti, Chris Martin, Jaz Dhami, Martin James Bartlett, Danielle de Niese, Stevie Wonder, Florence Welch, Lauren Laverne, Brian Wilson, Jake Bugg, Katie Derham, Gareth Malone, Kylie Minogue, Chrissie Hynde, One Direction, Emeli Sandé, Elton John, Baaba Maal, Ethan Johns, Jools Holland, Jamie Cullum, Brian May, Tees Valley Youth Choir and BBC Concert Orchestra / Beach Boys]
As a cover lover, I just messed my pants … twice.
Rolling in the Deep [Aretha Franklin / Adele]
Somewhere Adele’s going “HOLY SHIT, I JUST GOT COVERED BY ARETHA FRANKLIN!”
I Want Candy [Bow Wow Wow / The Strangeloves] UNCOVERED
You know the New Wave version of the song by the shaved head hottie of Bow Wow Wow. What you don’t know is the UNCovered version (the original) by The Strangeloves circa 1965.
I’ve Gotta Get A Message To You [Moxy Fruvous / Bee Gees]
From the Vault … April 22, 2011
For most people born after 1978, the Bee Gees have been, and will always be the embodiment of Disco. What often over looked is they were, pre-disco a pretty tight vocal group. From those early days comes I’ve Gotta Get a Message To You covered here by Moxy Fruvous.
Isn’t She Lovely [Me First and The Gimmies / Stevie Wonder]
It’s the first friday of October, and that means it’s Me First Friday!
Pure Imagination [Primus / Gene Wilder]
So Primus is putting out a whole album of Willy Wonka covers. Because … Primus.
Bohemian Rhapsody [Panic! At The Disco / Queen]
I’m not a fan of Panic! At The Disco, but it’s better than Diarrhea at the Airport.
