The Derailers covering Prince's Raspberry Beret. Love when they break it down after the guitar solo.

And it's fun... Screaming Females Cover of Taylor Swift's Shake It Off

Lemonheads version of Mrs. Robinson.

A very rare one hit wonder, essentially, from a cover song.

A Shame About Ray was as big, no?

If I Could Talk I'd Tell You is my favorite though.

It was their song, but Mrs. Robinson was bigger I believe. I just know it is the only other song they did that I can name.

Creep by Haley Reinhart/Scott Bradlee

Say what you want about the style of this cover but this performance is absolutely flawless. Big fan of Scott Bradlee's covers.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps - AM (feat. Tina Dico)

There aren't many Beatles covers that I like, but I found this one pretty interesting. There really isn't a "weeping guitar", but I guess it would be out of place in this unplugged version.

Then trying to learn more about Tina Dickow (Dico), I hit this Joni Mitchell song that she did with her husband.

Tina Dico + Helgi Jonsson - River (Joni Mitchell Cover)

I like this one better than the original.

My wife and I's first dance at our wedding was to that version, so I'm kinda partial to it.

Oak Ridge Boys...... One of those rare musical moments that aren't particularly "good" but are no doubt AWESOME....



Thanks for sharing. At a point they sound like Big and Rich. Or I should say Big And Rich sound like The Oak Ridge Boy singer. Since he's got 2 decades on Big and Rich.
