Karel Gott - "Rot und schwarz" (Paint it Black, 1969)

Quebec!

I found this by accident, while looking for another Pierre Noel song. No, really. (audio only)

Sinatra and Garfunkel

No one disrespects a song more than Frank Sinatra. Ooh-Ooh-Ooh...

Øystein Sunde, Sodsai Chaengkij, Poncie Ponc, and other Music You Will Surely Want

There's a new mess of weirdness over at Fyrtårnet, including some of the most horrific cover versions imaginable, such as These Boots Are Made For Walking, Baby Elephant Walk, and Satisfaction.

Papi Papi Papi - Mayte Gaos

Let's bossa!

I'm sure I'm gonna make a lot of you very happy with this: a high quality vinyl rip of Alan Moorhouse's Beatles, Bach and Bacharach go Bossa from 1971 at Mister Olgertamey's.

Boogie Man

Even Great-Grandma, the Joann Castle fan, can enjoy this peppy but pre-chewed collection of seventies tunes by piano man Gottfried Böttger.

Lullabies in an ancient tongue

Monday is the 42nd anniversary of King Crimson's debut LP In the Court of the Crimson King; here's the album recreated using the finest covers the YouTube has to offer.

Seasons "21st Century Schizoid Man"

Camper Van Beethoven & Eugene Chadbourne "I Talk to the Wind"

The Peanuts "Epitath"

Andrii Didorenko & Yuliya Basis Moonchild Variations from the Crimson Fantasy

Doc Severinsen "In the Court of the Crimson King"

Mana Mana

As the uploader, luissoulful, puts it:"Piero Umiliani meets the Addams Family in Panama!"

Jan Rot - LOLA (Kinks NL)

Sacrilege, but Jan Rot gets away with it again...

Rosey the Renaissance Man

Roosevelt Grier: American football player. The man who restrained Sirhan Sirhan after the Robert Kennedy assassination. Ordained minister. Author of Needlepoint for Men. But surely his proudest moment has to have been his performance of a Tom Jones cover on Shindig.

Здравствуй,песня!

Здравствуй,песня ("Hello Song!" in English) was a russian music ensemble which in 1979 recorded an album called "We Love Disco" (Мы любим диско) which was a flirt with the popular disco-era music from the west mainly made possible because of the winter Olympics 1980 in Moscow.
Here they are with a cover of Eruption's "One Way Ticket To the Moon":


Here is yet another stylish performance of a song from the "We Love Disco"-album - "Не Обещай" ("No Promises"):

Bridge Over Fershlugina Water

Hey, don't blame me if I chose the wrong Yiddish word for "Troubled", I'm just a little shiksa (some might say Yenta). This album of Simon & Garfunkel songs sung in Hebrew was found by litlgrey of Luxuria music, who always finds the best stuff long before I get there.

But some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground

You might think it was Pat Boone. But it wasn't. He wasn't even near the place!

I Afraid the Chez Left Side

I love foreign covers of English hit songs. Well, we all do here at PCL. Here's an especially fun phonetic cover of "For Your Love" by the Mahe Stros (audio only.)

Straight connection, T.E.E.

Doubtless inspired by the Langley Schools Music Project, this 2007 California grammar school production of Krafwerk's "Trans Europe Express" reinforces my belief that my own grade 4 and 5 musical education was sorely lacking.

Satisfaction?

Perhaps the cheesiest, whitebread cover tune I have ever heard. I am an unabashed Carlos Bastos fan from this day on.


Found at: coisas do arco da velha

A Whiter, Paler King Curtis

Good lord, why is it that every version of this song seems as though it goes on for WEEKS. Should you have what seems to be months to spare, maybe you would like to get this collection of a whole mess of Whiter Shades of Pale, 25 to be exact.  

The Burbank Philharmonic

The Burbank Philharmonic, a project by three sax playing brothers, ex of the Kenton and Barnett Big Bands, who wanted to do a sort of concept album of dixie covers of current hits (1969).

The Burbank Philharmonic - Spinning Wheel

The Burbank Philharmonic - Big Noise From Winnetka

The Burbank Philharmonic - Light My Fire

The Burbank Philharmonic - These Boots Are Made For Walking
