"All Tomorrow's Parties" by the British band "Japan" is another great cover version.
The original song by the Velvet Underground and Nico was written by Lou Reed and released on the group's 1967 debut studio album, "The Velvet Underground & Nico". Japan released this great version on their album "Quiet Life" in 1979

It's very funny and interesting to find a cover version of Rammstein's "Engel", performed by Landesjugendchor Vorarlberg (an Austrian choir including children in Dirndl). I really like this version and it's complex arrangement for acapella choir.

Musical Interlude: I love this one. Take a very familiar song and put it in a completely new context...and it works remarkably well. Don't laugh till you actually listen to this.

""Oelle como espiritu adolescente (Smells Like Teen Spirit)," performed by the Mandragora Tango Orchestra

#MusicTuesday #coverversions good cover, re-cover, whatever. I just moved halfway across Texas, and this is how I felt when I finished. Hard move, hard road https://youtu.be/Mk08KQYdyfY

Finally, a little bit of crossover with #GenreOfTheWeek (bluegrass), taking the 1941 hit from Gene Autry and letting the Canadians release their cover version.

The Dead South, "You Are My Sunshine" (2021)

And I think they do it very well!

The Beatles released "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" in 1967, and George Harrison contributed an Indian-devotional song that was recorded with Indian instruments.

Derek Trucks unwrapped the song onstage in September 2016 with the Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Tedeschi Trucks Band, "Within You, Without You" (live 2016, released 2017)

The audience were excited …

Everybody knows how Elvis Presley sings "Heartbreak Hotel", right? It's a song of heartbreak, sung bluesy in a voice that rocked an unprepared radio public.

Then John Cale released his version as a B-side to a promotional single "Dirty-assed Rock 'n' Roll", and you can see where this is going.

John Cale, "Heartbreak Hotel" (1975)

Really sinister sounding …

On Brian Eno's second solo release, 1974's "Taking Tiger Mountain (by Strategy)", an absolute bonker of track kicked off Side B of the LP.

Bauhaus covered it.

Smokey Robinson wrote it for The Temptations, who released it in 1966. The song reached No. 1 on the R&B charts in the same year.

The single found its way to Jamaica …

It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are

Acapella Metallica sounds great. How about some nice soothing Folk-style Gangsta Rap?

For #MusicTuesday can you have

They're not Metallica but it's worth a listen

Running Up That Hill - Placebo

"And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building"

Stripped - Shiny Toy Guns

"Let me see you stripped
Down to the bone (let me hear you speaking just for me)
Let me see you stripped
Down to the bone (let me hear you crying just for me)"
