I really like seeing covers of songs done in dissimilar styles.

Example:

I can see clearly now- on a hammer dulcimer

or Sex on Fire -reggae style

What can you find on the YouTubes?

It took me a minute to even remember the original singer of this one when I heard it on the radio.

If you like 60's covers, and you like Jazz, check out the album "Sealed With a Kiss", by Anne Farnsworth.

Too many good ones here... Enter sandman is good, as well as Down With the Sickness.

Sunday Bloody Sunday is cool, and some killer piano on Hot for Teacher.

The Slits I heard it through the grapevine

I couldn't find a good version on YT, but look on grooveshark for Big sugar's heavy reggae version of Let it ride. Killer.

Best cover ever Devo Satisfaction

Mike Ness covers "ball and chain", "I fought the law", "big iron", and "long black veil" pretty well (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M0nKL8NFJc). I like the pop-punk of me first and the gimme gimme's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlDgXi8EKxg). I like JC's version of "Hurt" (kill me now, shiny happy people)(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l95D7leeU3w). I like Reckless Kelly's version of "52 Vincent Black Lightning" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5cZtt5gtdI). Jack White's "Jolene" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=H4rYaLBUpLA#at=106). Breakfast At Your Place "Call Me Maybe" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvRbgjCc3ds).

I like this game.

Edit: That Kid Cudi cover is berkeleying great.

Singer is super cute and she's got a cool band. Excellent performance--great to see talent shine in a live setting in this autotuned, protooled world we live in these days.
