Wow... actually one of the most credible renditions I've seen.... while the band and backup singers have more to do with that than Pink does... she does a credible job here.
Though, kinda like Freddie, I can never quite decide if I'm attracted to Pink or not...
Wait - did I say that out loud?

I happen to think that the Jackson 5 cover by these guys is pretty amazing...it's a wonder how a 25-year old voice can hit those small lad MJ high notes:
THE BIGGER LIGHTS [SICK NEW BLOG!] on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads
...and I'm not the least bit biased given that my son is the bass player in this band. :ihih: -
I found this to be quite interesting. The tempo is totally different, the island groove really works and how can one go wrong with the sweet lilting voice of Zooey Deschanel.

For me nobody does covers as well as Bryan Ferry -- As a Dylan fan I find the Dylanesque album is quite compelling.

Probably one of the most covered county songs out there. This version by Raul Malo is incredible. He has such a great voice.

I've had a weakness for covers for years. Coverville is my favorite podcast, by far.
Abney Park's Steampunk version of Creep is amazing. There are several videos of this song you can find on YouTube if you want to see what the band looks like in concert, but the best version is the album version. Robert has some serious chops. This song rocks live.

Had no idea there was a site like Coverville. Going to have to add this podcast to my list. Thanks for sharing.

I can't find videos but Barry White's "Never Never Gonna Give You Up" has been covered by Cake, and Wayman Tisdale - with Toby Keith on vocals.

Those were wonderful Nathan
. Neil Young is one of my favorite songwriters ( but I'm not biased just because we went to the same high school back in Winnipeg)
