It's always cool to hear a different interpretation of a tune you know well. I like covers that are very different from the og - or else what's the point? Especially interesting if you're in a club and you hear a tune you know being mixed in, except then you realize it's actually a cover.
It seems to me that when I was growing up loads of singles came with a "dance remix" as part of the package, and nine times out of ten it was just the song with the beat replaced with a basic house one (or if was called 'drum and bass mix' there was... well you guessed it). And a lot of actual covers take that minimal effort approach, just getting a different vocalist to sing the lyrics on top of a vadic beat. But it doesn't have to be that way, I'm looking for the one time in ten where someone who actually liked the original took the time to make a decent cover. Probably a lot of you still think those are cheesey - cos they kinda are, but they are also fun I reckon.
Here's some that spring to mind to get that ball rolling, if you know more then hit me!
For whatever reason there are a lot in this disco-punk-funk style (could probably do a whole thread of them but let's randomly start with this)
This one is maybe not strictly a cover, but it fucking like it is to me...
Go on then, entertain me... and I guess that the further away from the dance-floor the original is, the more surprising and kinda better the cover is... go!
