Best Youtube Covers Vol. 1

WopTittyPop · 08-04-2010 6:49am #1

I've looked for a thread like this and failed to find one, so I felt the glorious urge to START MWAR TREADZ :P

I just got about 2-3 hours of looking for sweet assed awesome covers on youtube, and I thought i'd see what everyone else could find!

Post any cover songs you've seen on youtube that you felt blew your mindbrains and needed to be known by EVERYONE! *Only rule: It can only be a normal youtube user(s), no famous people here please!*

Drum covers, guitar covers, vocal covers, band covers etc..

First one that comes to my head is a serious guaranteed jean creamer

While this is a bit different to the above it is a remix of Why So Serious off The Dark Knight OST from a YouTube user.

I like the beat to it. I'm sure I heard i102 - 104 steal this one into their promotions.

I'm not sure whether Matt Weddle is too well known for this thread or not, but this is good.

Actually, since I've been on my soundtrack buzz of late I came across this Russian (i think) band's cover of The Last Of The Mohicans theme cover.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEcPRk_SKYo

Hard to find but I think it's the best cover of that song I've ever heard.

tech77 · 09-04-2010 1:52am

^She's got a really interesting voice.

Nelly Furtado cover- she does a really good job IMO.

Dave! · 09-04-2010 10:54am

Very hot, with a rather big rack, and a good singer:

Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole 'IZ' 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'
14,700,00+ views, good cover, nice easy listening voice. Never missed a dinner in his life by the looks of it though...

From Youtube:
Throughout the later part of his life, Iz was obese and at one point carried 758 pounds (344 kg) on his 6 feet 2 inches (1.9 m) frame. He endured several hospitalizations and died of weight-related respiratory illness on June 26, 1997 at 12:18 am at the age of 38.

The Hawaiʻi State Flag flew at half-staff on July 10, 1997, the day of Iz's funeral. His koa wood coffin lay in state at the Capitol building in Honolulu. He was the third person in Hawaiian history to be accorded this honor (the other two were Governor John A. Burns and Senator Spark Matsunaga) and the only non-politician. Over 10,000 people attended his funeral. Thousands of fans gathered and cheered as his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean at Mākua Beach on July 12, 1997.

On September 20, 2003, hundreds paid tribute to Iz as a 200-pound bronze bust of the revered singer was unveiled at the Waianae Neighborhood Community Center on O'ahu. The singer's widow, Marlene Kamakawiwo'ole, and sculptor Jan-Michelle Sawyer were present for the dedication ceremony.
