So I final got around to reading this post at Mental Floss, featuring some of the author’s favorite cover versions of various songs. I found that I was familiar with (and a fan of) most of them…but I thought I’d share some of my faves that didn’t make that list.
Here’s Travis doing Britney’s “Baby One More Time”
Here’s a Ben Folds cover of a Dr. Dre song…really, really NSFW, so click this link with care!
And finally, Jonathan Coulton does “Baby Got Back”:
I know there are others…but what are your favorites? 🙂
Glen Phillips does “Political Science”

Or Susanna Hoffs and Matthew Sweet doing “Different Drum” (what can I say, I like the song)

Jill Sobule does “Don’t Let Us Get Sick”
Ok, I got one more. It is probably one of my absolute favorites.
Rufus Wainwright, Moby and Sean Lennon doing “Across the Universe”
How could the Travis cover not be on the list?!
I don’t know! Crazy. 😉
