Weird Al covering Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

 

He changed up the lyrics though - "Smells Like Nirvana".

 

 

Weird Al.....boy, does that bring me back! I think my favorite part of that video has to be the random guy who runs out of the mosh pit solely to knock the cookies out of the girl scouts' hands and then runs back into the mosh pit. Maybe I'm a mean bastard, but that's just too funny! :P

I have loved "La Woman" by Days Of The New since I originally heard it on The Doors tribute album "Stoned Immaculate: The Music Of The Doors" back in 2000.

I really liked Patti Smith's cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit:

I just heard a new cover and it's so good, I thought I'd resurrect this thread.

 

It's not easy to do a Beatles cover because their music is so ingrained in everyone's consciousness. This cover of Because by Melody Gardot is a beautifully intimate version. She draws you into her performance by undersinging and changes the melody just enough to keep it fresh and surprising.

 

The video is from an Abbey Road 40th anniversary show that was taped last year but I just saw it for the first time last week.
