Weird cover versions of well known songs.

So I present a version of Life is Life by Laibach that would probably go down well in North Korea....

I promise on my honour as a Midlander that I didnt know this next fact when I posted this earlier

Laibach became the first western rock band to play Pyongyang this summer!!!! They did versions of the songs from The Sound Of Music. Of all things

This link is off topic but the story is so barmy it deserves wider reading

Havent seen this version of Take on Me before, its Harry Hill for Children In Need 2013

Im not a great fan of HH but this is actually pretty good

Manic Street Preachers - Theme from MASH!

Erasure & a cover of the Tomorrows World theme from the late 1980s!

Pretty good actually, and Im not really very keen on Erasure

Just discobvered this one on a downloaded copy of Toppop - a Dutch equivalent of Top Of The Pops - Bolland doing Quo's In The Army Now

Not too bad at all. Shame about the pitch distortion to emphasis the end though

Interesting one this - Nightwish Over The Hills & Far Away. Nightwish are a Finnish metal band but this cover of the Gary Moore track definitely has some operatic overtones.

Try some of the tracks on Youtube first - Nightwish are a bit of an acquired taste. The lighter stuff like that one is pretty melodic but some of it is a bloody racket

If you like them give Sirena & Evanescence a try too.
