The best cover version

This has just been released as part of a BLM fundraising album. It's really good.

Kind of the opposite theme, I never knew Blondie's version was a cover until recently.

The Post Malone Nirvana thing was pretty good.

Thanks for that. Got me through a shit turbo session.

I made the mistake of buying the album though, and this cover is the strongest track by a mile.

Needs more cowbell.

Yeah, the kids are alright

Awesome.

Both absolute corkers.

Who's done the best version of the kinks I'm not like everybody else?

The Kinks (but you expected that).

What?!?

I thought they did the OG.

Okay, who's done the 2nd best cover?

On the flip, I find this playlist of 'originals that are less famous than the cover versions' fascinating.

That's really cool.

Although I'm struggling to think who covered Mad World.

What?!?

I thought they did the OG.

Okay, who's done the 2nd best cover?

It was a joke--you said 'version', not 'cover version'. :)

Coil's magnificent version of the Are You Being Served? theme song.

That's a good playlist, a few I didn't know were covers, a few I don't know the covers of too, who covered rusty cage?

Johnny cash apparently, which I had heard before but completely forgotten, can't think of too many other people who would manage a cover of that isn't awful.

Gary Jules, the version used in Donnie Darko

It was even Christmas Number One, back when that was still kind of a thing.
