One of my fave band names, MF & the GGs...not sure if I'd ever heard anything by them, though. I love their guitar sound on this Paula cover! Hmmm, fave songs covered by an unexpected artist? I was gonna say the little-known Aerosmith/RunDMC follow-up, "If I Could Walk This Way, I Wouldn't Need the Talcum Powder," but, too easy!
Off the top of my head, two of my fave artists....in a pretty stunning idea by Todd Rundgren, to begin with, and his cover execution is impressive, to boot...especially considering he's the only one heard on the track, playing all the instruments, and doing all the vocals on "Good Vibrations"! https://open.spotify.com/track/1zA373GE8G4BOhIaBUga1x?si=b2e4d8fd1fbe469f
Great question, and might make a fun discussion thread for one/both of us!
For a "weird" cover, Faith No More's cover of the Commodore's "Easy," has to be up there. For more regular one, Blondie's cover of The Nerves' "Hanging On The Telephone" is fantastic.
Another one I haven't heard (FNM doing "Easy")---hold those thoughts (and think of new ones)! Paul and I are planning a cover thread early next week! My first foray into threads....we'll see how it works, but this ought to be a good topic/theme to get folks involved!
I've done neither a chat nor thread. Chat, because I just have a laptop; I have no smart phone, just a flip. As I understand, the chat needs an app or something. I'd be happy to do a thread, but it would need a set-up, like our couple of examples here, to explain thoroughly.
Right off the bat, I don't think I've heard either Santana's Zep take or anyone covering "My Sharona' (outside of Weird Al's "My Balogna"). I'll be in touch!
Nice, Brad. Love Bowie. I do enjoy an unlikely colab. (one of my faves: Aerosmith And Run-DMC – “Walk This Way”).
Q: What is one of your favorite songs, cover by unexpected band/artist? I really enjoy Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - https://open.spotify.com/track/4nieHMhWmK1fzeythfX7Vr?si=df48894b0b2b476d

You mean, besides "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Paul Anka? https://open.spotify.com/track/2bD79gh9TsT1GT5khYcTu3?si=ef4c5133839449fe

Good answer. Obvs! It would be nice to hear other's faves, recommendations from others too. So chime in kids, it's fun!
Speaking of covers, (not weird ones), I enjoy Carlos Santana doing Led Zep: https://open.spotify.com/track/0u6lRvvxbrAYEdkUFKmHp6?si=355f7b6957e9454e
and Phil X's version of the Knack's My Sharona: https://youtu.be/cIS4zOH70pg
...Thread or a chat? Have you done one yet? I haven't.

I think Paul Anka's version of "Teen Spirit"might be a winner...
