Well I ran into this video of Jesse McCartney singing "Buy You a Drank"

I was wondering if there is a certain song that your favorite artist covered?

I love this too, Aly and Aj covers a "Black horse in a Cherry tree"

I don't like that song but Jesse McCartney singing it was pretty nifty. _smile.gif

My fav. covers are:
Elton John - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

All Time Low - Umbrella

Your Song by Ewan McGregor in Moulin Rouge

Pretty much any song by Michael Buble, especially Come Fly With Me, Fever & You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby.
Myfly's version of Don't Stop Me Now.

That Jesse McCartney cover was nifty. I really liked that.

Hmm... the only cover I can think of off hand right now is Rage Against the Machine's "How Could I Just Kill A Man." The original is by Cypress Hill. That shit blew my mind when I first realized it.

Edit: And Dynamite Hack's cover of Eazy E's "Boyz in the Hood." The Dynamite Hack cover is f**kin' classic.

That's not odd, that's a great cover. So good, Trent Reznor was like, "Shit, that's Johnny Cash's song now."

I agree on All Time Low's cover of "Umbrella". It's amazing live and on the CD. I like Anberlin's acoustic cover of Radiohead's "Creep". And Alien Ant Farm's cover of "Smooth Criminal", also. The last one I can think of right now is Chase Coy's cover of "I Will Follow You Into The Dark".

Haha it's ironic how I'm listening to Jess right now.
I loooooooooooove Jesse McCartney's version. I tried it add it to my myspace but the person who uploaded the song disabled adding the song to your profile. stubborn.gif If Jesse were to sell his version on iTunes, I think I'd buy it lol.

As far as any of my favorite artists covering songs, I can't think of any right now but there are some good ones out there.

Yeah, I would too. I like his version better than the original. It's actually really good and I really don't like his music.

I really like "I will survive" by Cake

If you haven't heard of Cake, you need to go and buy all of their music RIGHT NOW!

For sure! I love the cover. It's a very passionate remake and remarkably done.

Cowboy Junkies made a cover of The Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane" a long time ago. Beautiful remake and one of my favorite tunes to listen to.

YESSSS! I love it when people do cover's of Wonderwall. Ryan Adams & Cat Powers are amazing!

Cartel's version was, eh.


The other day I downloaded Leona Lewis' version of Snow Patrol's "Run" and it was pretty good. Nothing can beat an original Snow Patrol, IMO but this wasn't too bad. Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl7r2ApESN4

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Tori Amos doing Smells Like Teen Spirit.

I didn't really care for it, but a lot of people did.
