Weird cover versions of well known songs.

Stardate September 1982. Toto rack up the biggest hit of their careers with Africa. An ongoing favourite for covers here is Weezer doing something horrible to it......


 
Pretty good if you like heavy metal covers :D Yngwie Malmsteen rocking Gimme Gimme Gimme a Man After Midnight :-rofl2


 
Anyway back to the covers. Helloween doing a decent cover of Space Oddity. Unusually for these covers its quite faithful to the original


 
I posted The Aurora Project a couple of pages back doing Asia's ballad Never In A Million Years. Now Ive fond them doing anothe John Wetton song - The Last To Know.


 
Keeping with the Toto - Africa theme here one of the excellent Japanese covers of it.

NHK World have a regular segment called Blends where traditional Japanese instruments are used to play covers of well know songs. Some of them are absolutely cracking, and are well worth keeping an eye out for.
