Non-Taxing Cover Songs

Free Music Based on Other Music on For Tax Day

So the good people amongst just made sure to pay their taxes.

So in the joyous spirit of paying for something you may have already paid for, I thought it would be fun to go very off topic and talk about cover songs.

So in the spirit of repetition, I thought I would it would be fun to just make a list of links of some of the best covers – I think – ever.

So to continue that idea, I thought it would be fun to open up the comments to everyone and ask y’all to add your own songs – just covers, not rip-offs or heavy samples, mind you.

So to start, here’s a cover I came across on the new Star Trek show “Picard” – and yes the show can be a bit a whiny pain but it turns out to be far better than that “subtle as a crutch” Trek thingy called Discovery.

So here you go –  in backwards order – cover first (sorry for any ads).

California Dreamin’

Train in Vain

Gin and Juice

Slippery People

Kiss

and a Tom Jones bonus cover, with The Cardigans doing the Talking Heads:

So obviously there are a zillion others – Respect, Natural Woman, Sweet Jane, Satisfaction, Black Hole Sun, Torn, Superman, and on and on, so do please play along in the comments.

So, to close, this is not a cover but, as it was just Easter, a version of the revolutionary/traditional Irish song “The Foggy Dew” from The Chieftains and Sinead O’Connor.

So, by the way, she sang this is one take after getting a level check.

So, hope you enjoyed!
