Cover versions you wish were real

Otis Redding doing The Beatles' "Oh Darling."

Clinic doing a Kid A / Amnesiac era cover.

I want Springsteen to cover 40 Miles by East River Pipe

― Evan,

I just worry that the smell of gasoline might be overpowering

Black Sabbath of "A National Acrobat" doing The Kinks' "Mindless Child of Motherhood".

Sade singing Toto's "Georgy Porgy"

The New Pornographers covering Gowan's Strange Animal with Neko Case on vocals.

I can hear that VH/VU in my head pretty clearly.

Yeah def, that was a good call.

Alice Cooper singing 'Be My Lover' but not the Alice Cooper version of 'Be My Lover' because it's the La Bouche version of 'Be My Lover'

La Bouche - Clones (We're All)

big thief covering radiohead's "black star"

I'd like to hear The Replacements or The Dream Syndicate doing 'Black Star'

Kurt Vile - Lou Reed’s “Video Violence”

Paramore - Parts & Labor’s “The Gold We’re Digging” and Foo Fighters’ “Aurora”

i need to hear bryan ferry sing '4th of july, asbury park'

uh oh now i have bryan ferry singing the chorus to ‘rosalita’ in my head

I've long thought that 'Ghostbusters' should've been performed by the B-52's. I can hear their version so clearly in my head that it's spooky.

I've dreamed about Hendrix doing a version of "Whiter Shade of Pale" since I was a teenager. I heard him doing the keyboard part out picked on the guitar and then coming in with his laconic voice doing the vocals.

The B-52s - Wax And Wane

...despite being simultaneously too much like the Cocteaus original and Rock Lobster somehow as to be pointless. Plus I can't work Fred into it.

Onyx did Louis Prima's "Just a Gigolo" but the chorus just goes

I AIN'T SHOT NOBODY
