Strangest cover?

[Sightless Wisdom]

Black Sabbath's Snowblind covered by System of a Down. They sped it up like 20 times over but it still sounds good somehow.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Never would have believed it for myself if someone had told me Tori Amos had done a cover of a Slayer song.

I would've been the fool in that situation:

Went from this (cover) [http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Raining_Blood/4155607].

Fucking bizarre.

 

[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

Yeah.

Didn't say I liked it, just that its damn strange

On that note, Nadja did a cover of Dead Skin Mask by Slayer. Nadja is a drone band that released an album full of covers, stuff from Slayer, and My Bloody Valentine, to elliott smith and Swans

Yeah, they are damn strange, but I mostly like them more than the originals.

This isn't a topic about worst cover you've ever heard, or the best covers. These are simply the covers you listen to that you are constantly wondering "What the...?" the entire time you are listening to it.

For my example, I was just listening to last.fm, on the cover radio, and a cover done by Between the Buried and Me came on. For those of you not "in the know", BtBaM is a progressive metalcore band. So, what songs would you expect them to cover? Other metal songs? How about...Bicycle Race by Queen [http://www.last.fm/music/Between+the+Buried+and+Me/_/Bicycle+Race]?

Again, what covers have you heard that were just out there, either by being out of type for the band or just plain strange sounding?

Everything ever done by Ten Masked Men.

They're a bunch of Brits who do death metal covers of mostly old pop songs. Thriller, Beat it, You spin me right round, play that funky music etc

 

[Beacon]

Billy Jean by Chris Cornell...

 

[Xerosch]

A Ukrainian band covering Hot n' Cold by Katie Perry.

It's better than the original version. Now it sounds interesting

And I'd like to add 'Rape me' or 'Chop Suey' by Richard Cheese. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgZGq6cGj9s

Yeah, they are damn strange, but I mostly like them more than the originals.

Actually, seeing as most of the songs they cover are pretty awful to begin with, I'd have to say I agree

 

[Arkhangelsk]

"Oops I did it again"





Covered by Children of Bodom

Damn, you beat me to it. Guess I'll have to settle with People Are People played by Dope.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Probably the Nouvelle Vague cover of Too Drunk To Fuck.
