Fantasy Cover Versions

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I sometimes hear a song and think I'd like to hear someone else have a pop at it.  Sometimes it's because I think it'd fit neatly with the fantasy cover artist's style; sometimes I think the fantasy cover artist could bring a new dimension to it.

 

For example, I'd like to hear Muse tackle Kylie's Can't Get You Out of My Head (to see if they could emphasise the unsettling note of obsession there is in that song).  

 

I also reckon The Cure could do a decent version of this.

I'd also like to hear someone like Marilyn Manson cover this.

 

 

And this has always struck me as an Aerosmith song.

 

 

Am I the only one who thinks of shit like this, or has anyone else got any fantasy cover versions?

[Mook]

I think of stuff like this all the time but my mind has gone blank, it'll usually be a soul tune where I can hear Black Sabbath doing a great version of it or something like that.

 

I'll try and keep an ear out so I can contribute something a bit more worthwhile to the thread.

[General Dryness]

I'd like to tackle Loverboy by Billy Ocean, but slower and darker. Less 80's.

 

In the style of Interpol or the like.

Adele doing I am the walrus

I'd have liked to hear a Janis Joplin cover of 'Baby One More Time', slowed down along the lines of the version by Travis.

[Pureblood]

Any song covered by the Afghan Whigs.  

[Boss]

I'd like to see Justin Bieber cover Frankie Teardrop by Suicide in front of a packed house of Beliebers. With full on space echo'd screams of anguish and Vega style death stare. It'd be like when Bob Dylan turned electric.

[Trumo]

Johnny Cash covering Louis Armstrong's 'We Have All The Time In The World'. Cash had the deep voice and could set it to an acoustic backdrop.

[Trumo]

The Corrs covering The Cranberries 'Linger'. That song has got vocals, strings and guitars on it so they could at least cover all the bases.

[Total Longo]

I'd like to see Cliff Richard tackle "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

Adele doing I am the walrus

 

 

Adele doing suicide is fatal.

[Trumo]

Stevie Wonder covering Michael Jackson's 'Stranger In Moscow' with a gospel choir on backing vocals.

[ZonkoVille77]

The Prodigy doing Radiohead's National Anthem.

[Trumo]

Marvin Gaye covering Ben E. King's 'Stand By Me'. Possibly the only way to better the original.

Martine McCutcheon doing 'Holiday in Cambodia' by the Dead Kennedys.

I'd like to see Cliff pull off three men and a baby.

 

This is what happens when you've won Netflix.

Will a filthy lounge version of Too Drunk To Fuck do instead?

I often wonder whether Sinatra would have been able to pull it off. I’m not so sure but like to think he would.

Dean Martin turned it down because he felt it was 'too fucked up for Vegas'.
