Cover versions you wish were real

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
