Weird Cover Versions

Any Rammstein fans here?

 

As mainstream covers go, Blinded by the Light by Manfred Mann is weird . . . not bad necessarily, but weird. From the substitution of “douche” for “deuce” to the Chopsticks finale, it borders on bizarre—especially since the original is a pretty straight-up rocker. What’s really weird is how big a hit it was. It was ok, but I think the douche-factor made it inordinately interesting to a certain element of the record buying public. Never underestimate the prurient interests of teenage boys.

 

"Dancing Queen" by Puddles Pity Party

​

 

"Flowers On The Wall" by The Rattler Brothers (Muppet Cover)

​

 

"Video Killed The Radio Star" by Postmodern Jukebox

​

 

Disco version of "Stairway To Heaven":

 

Soundgarden covered John Lennon's Two Minutes of silence. Soundgarden's version is called One Minute of Silence because they played it twice as fast.

 

"Never Gonna Give You Up" by Brock Baker
