    Bowie himself did a version of "Let's Dance" with a "slowed down" intro - the rest of the song was "normal", though:

    The Red House Painters utterly transform Silly Love Songs into an epic Crazy Horse guitar jam. A mind boggling alteration.

    I think there's a Help cover and Ticket To Ride cover that quite frankly, make me cringe. Also the I Want To Hold Your Hand "Glee" cover is another one.

    Who can forget the Olsen Twins' trippy take on 'Gimme Pizza'?

    Diamond Dog Cautionary Example

    I get the impression sometimes that an artist wants to cover a paricular song , isn't sure how to bring something new to it and so they slow... it... down. They may think that makes it more soulful but as often as not, it just makes the song slow.

    Ha, I forgot some words in the title: meant to be "Slowed down cover songs in pop culture".
    But I'm enjoying a lot of these slow cover versions so much that I'm happy to keep it as an all around slow versions thread.

    Elvis, Gentle on My Mind from the album From Elvis in Memphis (my favorite album ever). I like this version and Glen Campbell's equally.

    I'm always looking for what I call "Acoustic Versions" pf popular songs and more often than not, they are slowed down covers. I have a playlist of about 200 of these in my iTunes library, that I've dug up the last few years. Here are a few of the best ...

    With apologies to the late Chris Cornell, but I honestly feel that "Steve & Eydie" made the definitive version of this song ...

    "Slow cover" makes me think of that creepy version of "Unchained Melody" that Sarah McLachlan did.
