Interesting and Bizarre cover versions...

[WAD62]

In these 'X Factor' times there's an increasing tendency for people to release second rate clones of classic tracks.

However there are a few people who manage to make something new and interesting from the original, which for me is the only point in doing a cover.

Let me start on a light hearted note with Señor Coconut and his Orchestra performing their re-interpretation of SMOKE ON THE WATER

I saw them play this at a festival and was nearly physically sick with laughter...

I have a load of his stuff, check out the Rather Interesting record label

Atom Heart (Uwe Schmidt) at his best & most unconventional

I have the Kraftwerk album too which is most entertaining...

Same here

One of my favourite odd covers is of LL Cool J's 'I Need Love' - remodelled by Necro as 'I Need Drugs'; it's better than the original to be honest!

dont think you could call it bizarre, but i think its a very fine cover, and suits the song really well.

Excellent I've not heard that before, perhaps I should have said 'Interesting or Bizarre' not and...doh!

This is probably my favourite from Nouvelle Vague, although they almost qualify every time...Marian by the Sisters of Mercy
