Cover Songs You Didn't Know You Needed

Aria

I present “Cover Songs You Didn’t Know You Needed”, a place to drop all those videos and Spotify links that make you laugh, go “WTF?”, and then fall in love.

I’ll start with this song I’d already forgotten about until conversations else-thread reminded me:

Rick Astley covering Gayle’s ‘abcdefu’

Roz

Carrie Manolakos - Creep

I worked on a workshop once with this actress once back in my theatre days and holy SHIT her voice and her vibe and just – all of it. I’ll never be over this cover.

Oh hey, there’s a song I’m going to listen to on repeat for a week and then never look for again.

Obscure and amazing covers are kind of a passion for me.

That is all.

I am very fond of the covers that our Ndlovu Youth Choir does.

This one (in Zulu) of Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You is bloody brilliant.

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.
