"Also Known As" Songs

Here’s a list of a few songs I really like done differently by artists other than the original. The originals are great of course. You might call these interpretations, version, renditions, revivals (dear God no!), covers etc. of the original. It’s not exactly better iterations of the original song but the unique way it’s done lends to its attraction and aural allure. Have a listen and tell me what you think … perhaps you can recommend some songs like them:

1. Rita Lee – She Loves You

2. Howie Day – Help

3. Bolipata – Kamusta Ka

4. Rufus Wainwright – Across the Universe

5. Estancia – We’re All Alone

6. Cristina – Drive My Car

7. Nick Cave – Let It Be

8. Madonna – American Pie

9. Sonia – Fly Me to the Moon

10. Faye Wong – Dream Person
