Strangest cover?

[Virgil]

Spoiler: Baby Got Back, Jonathan Coulton

With bonus creepy WoW machinima video!

I heard Green Day's cover of Johnny B. Goode. It wasn't BAD, but why is it that whenever someone covers that song they almost always change the lyrics up?

Any of the Richard Cheese covers. Especially Disturbeds' Down with the Sickness, which was featured in the Dawn of the Dead remake.

 

[Wadders]

I'm Blue by Eifel 65, covered by 10 Masked Men. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXvQ94Z1oDM]

And anything else by 10 Masked Men to be honest

 

[fletch_talon]

Rocketman by William Shatner.
The cover of Common People featuring Shatner however is better in my opinion.

This. The Chop Suey cover is good too.

Sorry for having to post an AMV

Ace of Spades, covered by Microsoft Songsmith.

Dammit! I was gonna use common people by Shatner. That's gotta be the winner for me.

Love it!
And what I meant to say in my post is that I think the Shatner version is better than the original. Maybe just cuz I heard it first, but it just seems to flow better in my opinion.

Rocketman by William Shatner.

You Sir are a genius. Worst cover ever period.

Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=15452880 (Origional by Dio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj7UBgVVew8 ) also makes me cringe every time I hear it.

Fear of The Dark - Fightstar (original by Iron Maiden)
Iron Maiden - Trivium (original by Iron Maiden)
Flash of The Blade - Avenged Sevenfold (Original by Iron Maiden)
... Infact the majority of the Maiden Heaven tribute album.

 

[kickin wiing]

The Metro - System of a Down (original by Berlin)

It works out quite well.

 

[Zukonub]

Hillary Duff - My Generation

I found it horribly strange that one of the best lines got butchered.

 

[Lord George]

Sid Vicous - My way

Very very strange cover, still makes me laugh though in the first part and the rest is just awesome.

Are you sure you're not confusing strange with "fucking awful"?

Yeah.

One of my favorite covers is in the remake of Dawn of the Dead. The cover version of down with the sickness is absolutely awesome in it. It's a very calm version and the wa-a-a-a shouts in the original sound hilarious when the singer shouts them in a calm, lazyish way.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Oops I Did It Again was meant to be satirical...

I would say this monstrosity. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULmC8JTTVy0]

 

[chefassassin2]

Not sure if it's necessarily THE strangest, but hearing "Smells Like Teen Spirit", covered by Tori Amos, made me stop and say, "Huh?"

I would say this monstrosity. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULmC8JTTVy0]

Oh, god! Make the hurting stop!! Make the bad lady go bye-bye!
