Dubstep covered Acapella, in dutch. Sure … why the heck not? It’s just refreshing to hear Skrillex and not wonder if a pair of twenty year old fax machines are making sweet, sweet love.
So here’s Dario Fo Choir covering Skrillex.
Ladies can (and do) do acapella too. Can’t forget them in my week of acapella.
HomeFree is basicly … Oak Ridge Boys : the Next Generation featuring Howdy Doody at the helm. And that’s meant as a compliment. As the fourth in my week long series of Acapella covers, it really works.
Though they did miss the great opportunity to mash the song up with Honky Tonk Badunkadunk.
There, I posted it. No need to put it on my Facebook wall for the 345th time. Thank you!
I was all prepared to make fun of Sam Smith’s ridiculous hair cut, and then I heard him singing Fast Car and I was so blown away I forgot to do it.
You can’t be blamed for not realizing the Great White song “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” was a cover song. The whole shark theme, the hair metal lyrics, the fact you weren’t born when the song came out. So here’s the original UnCovered version by Ian hunter.
Lizzie Hale is the hottest woman in Rock right now. Also I can’t think of another woman in rock right now. Pop, yes. Rock, no.
A deep cover is a cover song, that’s so much more famous than the original, that the original is almost entirely forgotten. I figureed I’d showcase “Hanging On The Telephone” before you crazy kids almost entirely forget what a phonebooth is.
My songs know what you did in the dark. My songs know you were using a flashlight to read She-Hulk comics under the covers.
Too bad there isn’t a recent song called “Let Him Go” so we could cover all the bases.

Slipknot … covered by Hanson?!?
Is this some kinda of April Fool’s gag? Oh … yes, kinda of course it totally is. In 2011 Hanson pulled one over on their fans leading them to believe they were releasing an entire album of Slipknot covers. As proof they offered grainy leaked cellphone video on YouTube of them covering “Wait and Bleed.”
Not the greatest audio quality here, but still … rubber duckin’ weird in an awesome kinda way.
I am completely oblivious to pop music. I thought this was a new song until stilrzgirl told me otherwise and then I felt like a tool.
Hey … is that that guy from Foo Fighters?

From the soundtrack to the upcoming Cars 2 soundtrack, here’s Weezer covering the Cars. See how clever Pixar was with picking songs for the soundtrack? Which really shouldn’t be any surprise since Cars was the worst movie Pixar has ever made. It’s like someone decided to reenact Doc Hollywood with Matchbox cars and then got someone drunk to buy the movie rights.
Rounding out the cartoon covers, is Third Eye Blind. And three is a magic number … oh wait, that was earlier this week.
Awww yeah, slow jamming out another entry in my week of Cartoon Covers. Here’s the gang at Postmodern Jukebox belting out a tribute to Yakko, Wakko and Dot.
How about a week of nothing but cartoon covers? Sweet! Get it? Cause Mary Lou Lord and Semisonic are covering “Sugar, Sugar” which was originally done by the cartoon band the Archies. Sweet.

One thing that has always surprised me, is the sheer lack of Meat Loaf covers. With a career spanning over 30 years, I’ve never found any … until today.
Here’s Jamey Johnson, turning the Mr. Loaf’s classic into a syrupy, twangy boatload of Waylon Jennings-ish classic country. Download for free.

This one was just posted by Smashing Pumpkins to their Facebook feed, so I thought I’d share. Here’s the Bad Rabbits doing 1979.
Download it for free.
To me it’s a tragedy how overlooked Queen is in the pantheon of rock and how not overlooked they are in the world of television commercials.
