Full Version: Cover songs that have impressed you

CHAM
Have you heard any cover songs out there (by artists unknown or otherwise) that have impressed you? If so, share them.



Another by them



This group is called Pentatonix, they are an acapella group and won a reality TV show I believe... but these two covers by them really impressed me a lot. Every sound and note in the songs are their own voices.

Killing me softly - Fuggees
Being a kid of the 90s I remember this song as an absolute monster hit and I still love it very much to this day.
I never knew the original before the cover came out but I like that one a lot too.
Though I actually dare say I prefer the cover.



Bohemian Rhapsody - The Braids
I know I get stoned for this but the reason I like this cover is that it focuses on the nice parts of the song. I like the original but seriously what is the whole Galileo shit about? It totally ruins an otherwise amazing song.

Surprisingly heartfelt cover, and music video.



And this video seems a bit like they spun Ozzy around in a blindfold and unleashed him in Times Square, but it's still a great cover. Major points to whoever arranged it for going all "Stairway to Heaven" at the end.

Lotte Kestner is an amazing songwriter in her own right, but this is lovely:




The brilliant Fiona Apple takes this Elvis Costello track to another level:



Steffallo covering Cher's Believe



The Bird and the Bee covering Rihanna
