Janis Joplin's Bobby McGee is actually a cover of Kris Kristofferson's song, and was not discovered until after her death. Most people think it is HER song but actually it was originally Kris's. The song was originally about a girl named Bobby, but she adjusted the lyrics slightly.

quote:
Just days after her death, Kristofferson was in the studio where Joplin had been recording her latest album and heard her sing his song.

"She never did sing it when I was around," he says. "And it just tore me up. Cause it starts out just with her at the beginning. Guitar, you know. And then the band kicks in. And I can just see her saying, "Wait till that mother------ sees this. Wait till he hears how you're supposed to sing it"

While it may not strictly be a cover, Chris Cornell's version of Metallica's One, sung to the tune of U2's One, is amazing.

How the Hell he can not screw that up is beyond me. Just listening to it, I was wanting to sing the U2 lyrics.

Anybody ever get sucked down the YouTube rabbit hole of this guy Mike Masse?
He has recorded his 'sets' playing at a pizza parlor, but I'll be damned if his voice isn't amazing. It's like he has a built in auto tune in his throat, technically so spot on. It's kind of hilarious to watch him just pour his heart and sing beautifully, and hear all the pizza parlor chatter in the background and a smattering of polite applause at the end.

He has about a million videos on his channel playing just about every classic rock hit, but I especially love that he covers a ton of Radiohead songs, even some of their b sides. Here he is doing one of my favorite rh songs

What is really awesome is how well the lyrics fit with the music. I would love it if he recorded a studio version of that.

I was in a cover band for about 2 years in denver.. we hung our hat and moved on, then mike Massey moves to Denver and hires a band and my guitar player ends up playing with him.

Any bump of an old post where i can slap a blue star on a Fast Fred post is an outstanding bump.

Also to add to the list, Garbage & Screaming Females doing "Because the Night" is great.

My one (and probably only) contribution: the first thing that came to my head when seeing this thread (and didn't see it posted) was two covers of:

Born to be wild

Covered by The Cult

And much less known, covered be a cheesy metal band called Zodiac Mindwarp.

Leo Maracchioli (sp?) cover of Baby Shark.

I have an almost-3-year-old. Don't judge.

At the school that I work at, we have a 5 piece rock band that did this Baby Shark / Seven Nation Army medley that was surprisingly kinda cool sounding.
