We just had a thread about the overuse of slow sad covers of songs, but it seems we haven't had a cover song thread about ones we like since sometime last year. And new covers come out all the time. At least a bit of searching shows we haven't. So, what are you listening to?

I've got Dan Campbell (of The Wonder Years) covering Taylor Swift's All Too Well. I fell in love with this cover without knowing it was a cover, it just showed up in my Spotify recs a few years ago.

And a live one (yeah both of these are unavailable embeds, sorry)

Youtube musician Kerrin Connolly did a goofy fun cover of MCR's I'm Not Okay that I like a lot

And I really like Youth Fountain (I just made a thread about them), and I didn't know Light Switch (Charlie Puth) was a cover until today lol, the youtube upload says it but I've only listened to it on Spotify. I listened to the original today and I don't think it's bad but I don't care for it

I like these covers because they make them their own in a way.

I learned of this cover from the Prometheus sequel trailer, which I thought was a very fitting song for a film about David. The song made me more hyped than anything for what the film would be about. Much different than the Nat King Cole version, but I love it in its own way.

OP that Lightswitch cover is pretty good musically but dear god their use of autotune on the chorus is hard to listen to.

I think I've posted this before, but it deserves another airing because I love it so.

This is an album of cover versions of music from the Disney theme parks. There's some incredible stuff on it.

The Pointer Sisters doing "Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life For Me":


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86cX11fTGVc&list=PLJD7iIeIWcyYclbKc-cVmQKmbUysvJYtP&index=2

Etta James doing a medley of "It's A Small World" and "When You Wish Upon A Star"


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r033egZSPEo&list=PLJD7iIeIWcyYclbKc-cVmQKmbUysvJYtP&index=3

Barenaked Ladies doing "Grim Grinning Ghosts". I always feel this sounds like a lost TMBG track.


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe46S10VTMU&list=PLJD7iIeIWcyYclbKc-cVmQKmbUysvJYtP&index=5

But my absolute favourite, because it's so utterly relentlessly *camp*: Tim Curry doing The Ballad Of Davy Crockett.

The upcoming remake of The Crow probably won't have any bangers on the soundtrack that approaches the greatness of Downward Spiral-era Trent covering Joy Division.
