What’s Your Favourite Cover Of A Song?

So, a radio station in Australia has a segment called Like a Version where bands come in and record a cover and it's been going for 20 years, so they are having a countdown of your favourite ones. This got me thinking, what is your favourite cover of a song?

I love Black Nail Cabaret (a band from Hungary) and I think they are soooo underrated! Their original songs are great, but they can totally do cover versions too, e.g. these:

Voyage Voyage (original version by Desireless).
Rent (original version by Pet Shop Boys)
Tell me it's not over (original version by Starsailor)

Final score:

Look up Halocene, and their other linked bands/singers on Youtube, they do some fantastic covers. Their Bo Rahp is the best cover of that song I have ever heard.

My younger daughter enlightened me to Fiona Apple’s cover of The Beatles’ “Across The Universe”. It’s my current favorite cover.

To add some kind of aussie content....
" and the band played waltzing Matilda" (by eric bogle) covered by The Pogues..... A beautiful song made even better....
( one of the few high points of my life was once getting drunk at a BBQ in outback SA with Eric Bogle, in the 80s, and making him play it for me!)

Summer Night City by Therion. It takes the pop tune of ABBA and transforms it into a symphonic metal masterpiece.

Mine probably has to be Little Lion Man done by Tonight Alive on Punk Goes Pop Vol4. I mean you really can't go wrong with a Punk Goes Pop song, they've created some of my favourite covers ever (honourable mentions to Flagpole Sitta by Chiodos & Toxic by A Static Lullaby) but Little Lion Man will always be my song and this version kicks it up a notch

Final score:

#15

Probably either Livin' La Vida Loca by Autumn Kings (originally by Ricky Martin) or Eleanor Rigby by Palaye Royale (originally by the Beatles)

Final score:

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
