Old Songs, New Versions

in Discovery-it3 days ago

Greetings and salutations Hivers. Today let's go into another Three Tune Tuesday post.

As always, thanks to @ablaze for making this series. Lots of people participate in it! Follow the tags to find a ton of good music recommendation.

Today I have another mix of songs. This one is even more wild than usual! With that brief intro, let's just jump straight in.

Middle Aged Dad Jam Band - Kodachrome [Paul Simon]

As a photographer, I am almost required to like this song. Though I'm more of a monochrome guy myself, I do have to admit Kodachrome has a beautiful look. Shame the actual film is no longer produced and can't be developed anymore even if you do have some; it's pretty tough to emulate in Photoshop as well, with none of the attempts I've even seen getting it just right.

Anyway, this is really a fantastic cover of a great song



Culture Club - Karma Chameleon [Live at Edinburgh Castle , 19th July 2014]

Speaking of things I am probably required to love, as a child of the 80s, this is probably one of them. A really classic song, and this performance of it may even rival the original! I mean, Boy George's voice has changed a bit, so this is different, but no less good!

Just in case you are too young to know fine culture, here's the original.



Postmodern Jukebox [feat Sara Niemietz] - I Will Survive

I can't seem to make a post like this without turning to Postmodern Jukebox. They just have so many odd, unusual, and interesting covers .

This one is the classic I Will Survive sung in a 40s Latin Jazz style. Crazy how good it is!

So what's your favorite?

Sort:  

Those are some nice covers! I've always liked the punk covers of songs like that. Me First and the Gimme Gimme's is one of my favorites. I have a few of their albums. Those Barber Shop Quartet covers that Jimmy Fallon used to do are great too.
