Good-ass cover songs

Here's a few offbeat reccomendations. First is Mariachi Entertainment System, who started their YouTube channel doing mariachi covers of music from NES games. They've since branched out to other game systems, as well as more traditional covers. Here's two of my favorites from them:

And The Punk Cellist, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Dude started making recordings of cello covers of punk rock songs as a pandemic project, and it turned out as a pretty great combo. Of course, I'm biased, Cello is one of my favorite instruments, and punk is one of my favorite music genres.

Also seems like some folks are having trouble embedding YT videos. Basically all you need to do is copy the garbage pile of letters and numbers that immediately follow the '/watch?v=' part of the url - that's what goes between the Youtube tags.

Hope that helps!

I love the energy of this guy. The production values are top notch.
 
Is it even fair to post a mashup here?

A mashup while covering two songs!?! That's some Inception level goodness right there!

Totally forgot that an early favorite of mine did a lot of covers!

Is it still a cover, if you were one of the creators in the first place?

No I don't think so, Joan Jett is credited as being at least the co-writer of that song while a Runaway. Musically, "I Love Rock N Roll", isn't a terribly different version of the original, but very much so socially IMO.

Edit: it's fun to just keep scrolling deep down and getting different versions! Haha!
