Don't think this one has been posted yet. This is easily one of the greatest covers of all time.

I almost forgot this cover by the little Aussie band Frente! (yes the exclamation point is part of their name). They took what was already a great song by New Order and gave it a lot more emotion and gravitas.

Here are a few old covers that I have on my Favorites Playlist:

Oi Skall Mates (Japanese Ska band) cover the Drifters' I Count the Tears


Petula Clark's french cover of the Searchers' Needles and Pins


Toots and The Maytals cover John Denver's Country Roads


Adriano Celentano's Italian cover of Ben E. Kings' Stand By Me
(and I am sure that Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd based their "wild and crazy guys" on his performance in this video)


Shonen Knife covers Paul McCartney and Wings' Jet


and finally Me First and the Gimme Gimmes cover The Beatles' All My Loving

Really, are you talking about the lyrics or the video itself.

Because the lyrics are pretty much about . . .

NSFW!

This is more of an informal cover, at a small charity event, country star Sara Evans with a tribute to the late Donna Summers.

Evan’s is hot - although 41 at the time - and it’s fun watching a great talent creating something out of thin air with some of her guys just for her personal amusement. Keep watching after she stops the first time.

Edit: maybe this link works: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1afOHz...ature=youtu.be

That was really cool and amusing, what I found funny is if you close your eyes her singing voice sounds a lot like Sheena Easton.

I always thought that Brittany Murphy was insanely talented and amazing and was sad when she passed.

But I love her version of "Someone to love"

I was listening to some Gang Green tonight and remembered that they did this great cover of an Aimee Mann classic.
