Hopelessly Devoted To You (Olivia Newton-John Tribute) Live From The 2022 American Music awards by Pink
I have a particular fondness for songs done in different genres:
"La vie en rose" done by Afro-Cuban band Africando:

"Steppin' Out" done in electro bossa nova by Japanese artist Fantastic Plastic Machine:

I bet you might like this then. Saw these guys just randomly on YT and was totally impressed with the power of their "world" African Niger Delta music.
I got no idea what they are singing about, but the music gets to me.

Mdou Moctar - "Live in Niamey, Niger"

Digging it. Kinda remind me of Tinariwen, who play Bedouin music using blues instrumentation, i.e. "post-Bedouin?" Not familiar enough with the material to call them "covers," but cheers for the into all the same.
shareI've never heard anything like the dude on lead guitar, but all the players in Mdou Moctar are top notch. I don't think I've seen a drummer with so much energy.
I found Tinariwen and other African music, and a lot of Arabian stuff that is amazing. This guy is amazing. I like this one.

Awesome!
Brohim, in that case, I feel there can be no error in heartily recommending the band 3 Mustaphas 3; one truly worthy of the label "world music," of any:

This is an awesome version of the Chicago song "Make Me Smile" done by the Russian Chicago Tribute band, Leonid and Friends, otherwise known as Chicagovich. They are punchy and tight .. amazing ...

If your toe isn't tapping at this, you are dead.
You and Wanderer below seem to get what I'm after with this thread. A unique cover, that offers a new take on classic favorite songs. Loved this one:)
shareThere are some songs that are great and you never get tired of, but after years and years of listening to the exact same rendition, well, it's not that they get bad, but it's nice to hear a little different. These Ruskies do a great job with re-inventing the old Chicago songs that are now 40-50 years old in some cases. They really punch them up! Particularly this one.
Song that have something unique and differerent than the original and are just as good, but in a different way is what I like.
Here are two more that are different and I think fantastic.

Totally unique rendition of Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" by YT Scribbletunes.

You get it. It does take work. I think of song I love, and listen to 10+ covers to see if there's something new to be heard.

Jethro Tull is a hard sell for me unless its Aqualung. I'm going to look for a cover of that though:)
shareNothing Is Easy is 1969, two albums before Aqualung.
It's pretty much the best cover of any JT song I've found, so lively and energetic.
I've not found any good covers of Aqualung.
Keith Emerson did a good cover of Living In The Past though - nothing to write home about though.

Martin Skews' cover of Nothing Is Easy is great, really rock'in and the drums are perfect.
The girl Scribbletunes I think is Scandinavian, and her cover of Baker Street is just hauntingly beautiful, and just so simple, voice and guitar.
Lots of good Jethro Tull, who by the way has been around for 55 years now and have 23 studio albums out, and in the last two years have put out two albums, the new one of will be officially released in April.

I'm not so crazy about this song, but last year the ones they released early were not that best ones on the album.
I like these. How about this girl.

She's got a pretty face and a nice voice. She sounds exactly like the record so I would call that more Karoaki than a cover.
shareRumours was when I sort of turned off the Fleetwood Mac. I liked the real old stuff, though there is no denying they produced some great hits.
I liked Fleetwood Mac back when they had Bob Welch in the group and Christine McVie was the singer - what a voice, may she rest in peace. Welch went on to found a group called Paris that had some really good music, but never really hit with the public.

PM Dawn - Id die without you. Acapella cover by some high school.
Wow, this on my level of finding covers. Super original, great sound:)
