Any thing by Richard Cheese with Lounge Against the Machine. Love their lounge/swing takes on music never meant to be interpreted that way.

House of the Rising Sun! Love it!!!

Here we have Social Distortion doing a cover of an old country standard, 'Making Believe', which was a big hit for country star Kitty Wells when it was released in 1955.




Social Distortion also covered Johnny Cash's 'Ring of Fire'. Although it doesn't outdo Johnny's song, it's a great cover.

German band Kraftwerk were pioneers of electronic music. Their song 'Neon Lights' was a minor European hit in the late 70s.

The band Luna did a great cover around 2001 or 2002.



Kraftwerk's original:

It’s one of your favs. Sometimes we have to act tough to show how fragile we are!

These are great!

I was polite and it was scary that voices carry, I could even hear the dreams!
