cover songs

Covers of the Stan Bush anthem 'The Touch' -- known to geeks from its use in 1986's 'Transformers: The Movie' -- are nothing new. But covers of 'The Touch' performed by an all-Transformer band? Now that's something we don't see every day.

Well, here's something you don't see every day (unless you follow this guy around, in which case, move along ... move along). It's a man with a mohawk playing "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC on bagpipes that shoot flames. He also dances a bit. And he's wearing a leather kilt. Really, what's not to enjoy?

We didn't fully comprehend how many filthy words were in Macklemore's hit song 'Thrift Shop' until we heard that Kidz Bop was going to cover it.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again -- if you're going to subject yourself to the stress of parenthood, you may as well use your kids for party tricks. This dad has taught his almost two-year-old son to sing and strum along with him to 'Don't Let Me Down' by the Beatles. He seems pretty into it. This is an appropriate use of your children for entertainment. We approve.

As good as David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' is, it's still rather surreal watching someone perform it from space.

When it came to getting a prom date, you could say Bobby Chin hit all the right notes.

We always assumed there was no way to truly improve upon 'Gangnam Style,' the monster viral hit by Korean pop star Psy. But then we saw this awesome acoustic cover and knew that we were wrong, oh so wrong.

What a fun cover done by a group of very normal, talented women using kitchen utensils and some powerful voices.

I'm  sucker for cover songs, especially when they involve completely different genres of music being mashed together. Check out this video from a group called The Cleverlys. It's a version of the Black Eyed Peas' song "I Gotta Feeling" like you've never heard before.
