Luna - Sweet Child O’ Mine (Guns N Roses cover)

Perfect cover, of pretty much a perfect song.

It’s an interesting take, better than several others I’ve heard, as they truly make the song their, rather than trying to replicate the sound of GnR (a la Sheryl Crow).

Coolest Kid Ever | a 5 year old’s version of Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash cover)

A 5-year-old kid playing Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues.

Let me repeat that: this is a 5-year-old kid playing Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues. Wearing a The Who shirt. 

If this isn’t the goldest video you’ve ever seen… Happy cover Friday.

Pretty awesome cover! 

John Legend and the Roots | Wake Up
(Originally by the Arcade Fire)

via danhacker:

 This cover of Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up” is far better than I would have ever imagined it would turn out.

Personally, I’ll never be able to hear this song, and not think of the trailer from Where the Wild Things Are.
