Crazy Cover Songs...
Last night on the Strombo show on Radio 2, it was all about covers.
I heard this song a few years ago, and then again last night, and can't get it out of my damn head...so I thought I'd subject you to it, as well.
Actually I love it.
It's a bluegrass group called The Gourds and they're covering Snoop's Gin and Juice.
If you like hip hop, being sung to bluegrass... well, this your thing...
Enjoy!
(If you're not familiar with Snoop's, uh, repertoire, listener discretion advised...)

A cover which most definitely qualifies as crazy:

The Aussies seem to have a knack for this stuff
Andrew Denton on TripleM in Sydney in the early 2000s did 2 albums of a "Musical Challenge" - throwing bands songs outside their style
If you can find these Cds/torrents there are some real gems
Neil Finn - Billie Jean

or this
Chris Cornell - Billie Jean (not Denton)
http://youtu.be/c2MgwAJrfXo
and although he is nobody in NA, Mark Lizotte (Diesel) was big when I was in Oz.

http://www.covermesongs.com/ is great for finding neat covers. i'm especially fond of their "5 good covers" series, where they take a well known song and post 5 (often vastly) different cover versions. some are pretty far from the mark, but others are damn good!
posted by them yesterday, but a long time favourite (both the original and this cover). Pixies covering Jesus and Mary Chain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F5TZ7z7tJs
