I was on the boat between Helsinki and Stockholm and heard a house remix Killing Me Softly With His Song that made me wonder, who asked for this?

In that thread, what other songs aren’t really crying out for a remix or cover? Lennon’s Imagine but dubstep? Second Wave Black Metal The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald? J-Pop Werewolves of London (uwuuuuuu werewolves of London)?

Bonus points if you manage to find an example. Totally fine if you like the actual original or cover, ain’t no shame (maybe)

I assure you, you have many reasons to dislike, even hate me. Sadly (hah), I’ve heard them all before.

I’ve never once heard a twee cover of anything that doesn’t make me taste vomit. We’re done with that as a society, correct?

There are not many songs that I will actively shut the radio off for when they come on, but the Counting Crows cover of Big Yellow Taxi will do it. The radio station my morning alarm is set to plays it sometimes and it's a bad way to start the day.

seconded, that song awakens a rage I feel with little else. What an atrocious cover

We've all suffered that one particularly flatulent dubstep remix of "Sweet Caroline", right?

I listened to this yesterday and made it only a few seconds and yet it appears to be living in my brain, not paying rent. How dare you

see also Portsmouth Sinfonia, professional musicians sincerely playing* the popular classics with instruments they haven't trained on :v:

https://youtu.be/nDZZEfrRbdw (this owns tho, especially the 11/10 cymbal performance)

Portsmouth Sinfonia rules, as does The Langley Schools Music Project and PS22 (I still loathe you Ariel Pink but their cover of Round and Round is amazing)

Speaking of trash covers of important political songs, noted right-wing lunatic Dave Mustaine covered "Anarchy in the UK"

I mean, given Johnny Rotten’s political outlook it seems fitting

Ok so Eric loving Clapton did a cover (kind of) of a Yellow Magic Orchestra song, Behind the Mask.

https://youtu.be/SG_SgsG1-_o

Clapton’s version is technically a cover of a version that was supposed to go to Michael Jackson work out until later, when that demo was release (and it’s not terrible)

However, Greg Phillinganes took it and turned it into a loving banger. Holy poo poo this song RULES, I’ve been obsessed with it for like a month now. Incorporating YMOs original while taking it to 11.

Since that video was shared I’ve been going “reeeerrooowww” to my poor little cats when they get antsy for food. I don’t think it’s helping

New Wave band Duran Duran put out an entire covers album in 1995 which was not well received. Here's some exceedingly white UK boys covering Public Enemy:

Is this the technical fourth Ted lasso thread

Is it? I literally know nothing of the show except “it’s from Apple” and “apparently it’s feel good”. I’m guessing covers of songs are a thing

Ted Lasso started out as a TV ad campaign that was so popular it got turned into a TV series so I guess it's technically a remix???

Can we just add Glee covers and Disney pop single covers as batch entries.

That’s cheating unless it’s funny and I’m judge, jury and executioner.
