Bizarre cover versions

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

For me it has to go to The Fall for Lost in Music by The Pointer Sisters. Hearing Mark E singing "feel so alive", always raises the odd eyebrow or two. But it works.

I guess a man's got to know his limitations.

Rammstein doing Depeche Modes "Stripped" - very funny and very odd - as English is not their first language :-)

Either/Or. Let's not be pikky :lol: :roll:

A good cover is Depeche Modes Policy of Truth by Dishwalla. Very different but just as good!

Actually I don't think it's called covers when you play your own songs.

I like Tori Amos's version of "Raining Blood", btw.

Mugabe,

actually they cover a great many of their own songs these days, with much less success than Body Electric. Roll with it dude. :)
