Noah – Sexy and I Know It

Posted on 16/May/2012 by BestCoverSongs.net

To be honest with you, we really hate LMFAO‘s “Sexy and I Know It“. The track is a perfect example of the bad trends in music in recent years. Maybe that’s why Noah Guthrie – the 18 year old musician from South Carolina, “secretly wanted to cover this song”.
The cover couldn’t be more different than the original. The lyrics finally found the right rhythm! In addition, Noah’s voice is unexpectedly… sexy. Kudos!

The Lightning Seeds – You Showed Me

Posted on 26/Apr/2012 by BestCoverSongs.net

Back in 1964, two members of the American rock band The Byrds wrote “You Showed Me”. The first and original version, however, was recorded by another band – The Turtles, and became their last hit in the US.
Object of many covers, one of the good ones is coming from the British The Lightning Seeds. They released it in 1997 and even included some loops and samplers from the original. And once again the track became one of the most successful for its band.

Walk off the Earth – Somebody That I Used to Know

Posted on 26/Mar/2012 by BestCoverSongs.net

It’s not a secret that the Belgian-Australian musician Gotye wrote “Somebody That I Used to Know” inspired by his own experiences with relationships. But six months later, five other people covered, sang, and played the same song, which figuratively illustrates that we all have these particular experiences with relationships.
These five are Walk off the Earth – a Canadian indie band. The way they played this cover is more than impressive: ten hands on a single guitar. Beautiful.
