Simon & Garfunkel started out playing gospel covers, folk-style. So here's Aretha Franklin taking one of their later hits back to/for gospel. She does a rare turn on the keyboard, too. Bridge Over Troubled Water [swoon]

As pups, my pals and I would amuse ourselves by "borrowing" our older sisters' records by the Osmonds and their ilk-- and playing them on the 78 rpm setting. So would that count as "DIY" Chipmunks? (Jimmy Osmond's cover of "Tweedlee Dee" was particularly awesome after undergoing this treatment.)

Ryan Adams and Beth Orton do unspeakable things to The Rolling Stones .  (Not to be played at a party, unless you want all the guests to pack up and go home without being told to...)

Q. What's more nerdy than the Golden Arm Trio's cover of the music from Star Wars? A. Nothing. Absolutely Nothing. (WARNING:<span style="font-size: 12px;">If you cringe at the mere mention of the word "Theremin" or the phrase "free jazz," this is not the cover you've been looking for. You could at least skip to 5:05, where the Cantina Theme begins, though. That's cute and bouncy, kinda'...</span>)<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Unless it's their cover of the music from Star Trek. </span></span>

Todd, Todd, Todd...
I was fortunate to see him perform live in a small club in the midwest in the early 90s. Such an odd and interesting musician. Thanks for sharing FL!

You're very welcome, Jerry.
I love Todd. He makes me proud to be a Philadelphian.

Interesting. Definitely more ominous with some strong vocals. I miss the more melodic qualities of BOC, though.

Okay, I'm really not such a Lady Gaga fan, but it's hard to not approve of this medley , just on general principles.  Dancing while playing the bassoon can't be easy.

Continuing the soul/R&B theme: There have been so many covers of "Bring It On Home To Me." Good as Sam Cooke's original was, I honestly think Z.Z. Hill\'s*[/color] version surpasses it. [color:lightblue]*(1935-1984)

So FK made a post in the worst 90's songs thread with a link to Aqua's Barbie Girl. Which reminded me of this cover by the kings of industrial metal - Rammstein covers Barbie Girl

Calexico gives its ever-wonderful "Southwest" treatment to what's probably Joy Division's most famous song .
