You Won’t Believe These Cover Songs
Bruce Springsteen sings a country hit? Weird Al and Weezer doing Toto‘s Africa? It takes pure bravery to cover a song from another artist, especially a well known song, from…
“Now some folks say it’s too big/And uses too much gas/Some folks say it’s too old/And that it goes too fast/But my love is bigger than a Honda/It’s bigger than a Subaru.”

It takes pure bravery to cover a song from another artist, especially a well known song, from an iconic artist.
Here's a list of some of my favorite cover songs that I found. This version of Rhinestone Cowboy from the Boss should get Bruce into the Country Music Association.
Wait until you see who covered Hungry Like A Wolf!
Weezer does Toto's Africa
Featuring Weird Al, this is a GREAT version, from Weezer.
Dolly Pardon-I Will Always Love You
Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You became a worldwide smash. Here is the original from Dolly.
Muse-Hungry Live A Wolf
Duran Duran would be proud! Wow! See you in Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame!
No Doubt-It's My Life
My apologies to the band Talk Talk. I like Gwen Stefanie's version better of No Doubt's It's My Life.
Soft Cell-Tainted Love-Where Did Our Love Go
This is a blend of two songs, an original from Soft Cell called Tainted Love, to which they mixed in Where Did Our Love Go, from the Supremes.
Faith No More-Easy
This is a fun surprise from 80s's electric rock band Faith No More covering The Commodores song Easy. Lionel Ritchie must like it. He wrote it and had to approve their cover.
