This is not a rule in this thread. I wanted to make a place for people to share weird, unexpected versions of songs that give them the happies.

Post to your heart’s content.

I’ve loved this version of Addicted to Love by Florence + Machine since the moment I heard it.

Love it!

Also, I will match your “We Will Rock You” with this version from Why Mona.

For good measure, I’ll also add Luke Spiller of The Struts (my favorite band) and Taylor Hawkins (who had been one of my favorite living drummers) covering “Under Pressure” (my very favorite song) back in 2018.

They apparently also did this a few days earlier at the Philadelphia show, which I somehow missed, and I will absolutely never get over that.

Halo - Florence + The Machine

LP - Halo

[crawfish]

@Herja oh fucking yes.

[Mourne]

Cuz I can’t resist adding another:

99 Luftballons - Kaleida

Whole different feel to the song.

[GF]

Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” but it’s gay, by Reinaeiry.
