Great Varied Song Redos

[amnicon]

I love it when songs get redone in a vastly different style or with a wildly different interpretation by different artists.

This one was in my mind this week- In Bloom by Nirvana covered by Sturgill Simpson. Same song, but totally different songs.

The original:




Sturgill Simpson version:



What vastly different song redos/covers do you all enjoy?

This was one of my earliest memories of this phenomena: You Keep Me Hangin' On by the Supremes, redone by Vanilla Fudge. Hearing the Fudge do this really set my mind off in a different understanding of music and what was possible.

Same song, but totally different songs:

Supremes




Vanilla Fudge

Reading Carmine Appice's autobiography "Stick It!". What a wild life and time including and eyewitness to the "Mudshark" story!
