Covers that are at least as good as the original

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

More Mongo & Co. This time covering the Rascals.

Speaking of which, I heard this the other day and thought it was pretty cool.

Yeah, I dig Cake. I especially like their bass player and while I don't like horns just for the sake of liking horns. If a babd has a good horn player{s}. Like Cake or Morphine, Tower of Power or Funkadelic/ The fun factor of the band can be upped quite a bit.

I like Cake's take on War Pigs. Nice addition to this thread.

This is Anthony Kiedis and Josh Klinghoffer of RHCP doing an acoustic version of If You Want Me To Stay. Kiedis doesn't quite have the voice for it imo, but does OK. I ike Klinghoffer's acoustic playing.

Loose interpretation. I swear, for years I used to listen to this song every day on the way to ski:

Loose interpretation. I swear, for years I used to listen to this song every day on the way to ski:

Heh. This is kinda funky. 2 of my young'uns, my oldest knothead (daughter) and my youngest knucklehead (son) are pretty serious snowboarders. Neither one of em are real big listeners of rock n roll, but both do like RHCP and patrticularly when snow boarding. I forwarded the clip to both of em.

Possum Kingdom Ramblers in the house bitches! Now its a party!



This may very well be the greatest cover song in the history of cover songs. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my privilege and pleasure to post to the hoop. The often imitated, but never duplicated Emmett and the Black Mountain Scorpion Bluegrass Experience Gang. Covering that classic and timeless gem "Get Low" by the immortal and irrepressible Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz NSFW

Prophetic lyrics....

#DUMPTRUMP!!!

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
