Music Friday: 4 covers

For some reason, hearing two different versions of a song side by side usually makes me appreciate both performances more. Here are some particularly adventurous and fruitful covers, followed by the original artist.

1. Mercedes Landazuri (info) covers...



...the Beach Boys.




2. The Futureheads cover...



...Kate Bush.




3. Cake covers...



...Gloria Gaynor.




4. K.T. Tunstall covers...



...the Jackson 5.

Don't forget about Petra Haden who did an a capella cover of the entire The Who Sell Out album.

Man, this is a fun post to revisit, even though one can't view, now, every embedded video link. Well, that's what memory, not to mention remembrance, is for.
