For a long time I thought ‘At Last’ by Etta James was actually sung by Ella Fitzgerald.

Sugar Kisses by Echo and the Bunnymen.
I thought it was U2.
Did you mean 'Lips Like Sugar': -

A little more subtle than the bombast of U2, but in the same vein.
Yep. That's the one. 🙂

shareSample and Hold by Neil Young.
Not sure who it sounds like (some techno band maybe), but I would have never guessed it was Neil if not told.
From the infamous 'Trans' album.
shareI actually like that song a lot. Mostly because it reminds me of the Bradbury story "I Sing the Body Electric".
shareSo, from late 1980 to mid-1982, Young spent much of his waking hours carrying out a therapy program for his young son, Ben, who was born with cerebral palsy and unable to speak. Neil disclosed to almost no one at the time that he was doing so, or that the repetitive nature of the songs on both the previous album, Re·ac·tor, and this one related to the exercises he was performing with Ben. Work on Trans began in late 1981 as a continuation of Re·ac·tor, with the usual Crazy Horse lineup. But then Young started playing with two new machines he had acquired, a Synclavier and a vocoder. Crazy Horse guitarist Poncho Sampedro recalled, "Next thing we knew, Neil stripped all our music off, overdubbed all this stuff, the vocoder, weird sequencing, and put the synth shit on it."
Young's direction was influenced by the electronic experiments of the German band Kraftwerk, but more importantly he felt that distorting his voice reflected his attempts to communicate with his son. "At that time he was simply trying to find a way to talk, to communicate with other people. That's what Trans is all about. And that's why, on that record, you know I'm saying something but you can't understand what it is. Well, that's exactly the same feeling I was getting from my son."
A few days ago I was just watching The Twilight Zone episode based on that short story. I know the title comes from a Walt Whitman poem.
shareThis was mentioned in an episode of Mad Men. There is a song “September in the Rain” written in the 30s that sounds quite a bit like a Beatles song. It was recorded several times. The Beatles played it themselves for a demo. Here is the version played on Mad Men:

Yes, definite similarities.

Michael Jackson didn't sound like himself in this song.
