I’m only going to do one, but BOY is it hard.

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.

‘We Will Rock You’ by In This Moment

The whole album is great but omg.

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.

Herja

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.

crawfish

I blame @Herja but now I’m craving covers of songs that take non-country songs and make them country. Help.

Testament

I haven’t really looked, but I’d love to find some covers of Alice in Chains. I should really look into that when I have a free chance.

Aria

@Testament Ask and ye shall receive.

City and Colour covering “Rain When I Die”

Plus covering “Down in a Hole”
