Back In The U.S.S.R. [The Beatles] - The Siculiana Beatles Cover Band

I recently discovered The Siculiana Beatles Cover Band. Here is another great tune called Back in the U.S.S.R. It's one of my favorite Beatles songs.

Mr. Brightside [The Killers] - Sandra Landeiro

Here is some more Mr. Brightside. I like the gentle guitar and the female vocal is quite nice. Enjoy!

Come Together [The Beatles] - The Siculiana Beatles Cover Band

This blew me away! I loved it! At first I was a little hesitant because of all the horrible Beatles cover bands out there. But The Siculiana Beatles Cover Band is creative enough to pull this off. The guitarist was my favorite part. I'll probably be including more of their covers in the future.

Creep [Radiohead] - Kzma

Hope everyone had a happy holiday! Sorry I didn't keep things posting during the holiday, but I was out of town. Today I make that all up to you by sharing this ukulele version of Creep by Radiohead. Just wait until you see the "Bamboo Sax" solo...

Don't Look Back In Anger [Oasis] - Emilius22

This is a classic song. As 2009 comes to an end, hopefully you won't be looking back in anger.

No Diggity [Blackstreet] - TheBeatboxHitman Two & ortoPilot

This is one of the best covers on YouTube right now. And I can say that with at least some credibility since I watch several a day. Enjoy. And watch it more than once, because that's what it takes to take in the awesomeness.

Silent Night [Franz Xaver Gruber] - Olivia Newton John

You can't help but love Olivia Newton John. Here is a beautiful holiday classic.

Stockholm Syndrome [Muse] - Harvey Drive [Featuring Blake Scott]

Holy macaroni! How old is this drummer!? He's awesome! The band does a great job with this song and that kid can rock it on the drums! Gotta love it! He didn't spell the name of the song right on youtube, but I absolve him.

Hava Nagila [Traditional] - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

From Jonny's Bar Mitzvah. This is what I love about these guys. Simple as that...

Blood & Wine [Dustin Kensrue] - Grindian

Dustin Kensrue of Thrice has released some great music along these lines. Here we have a nice take on Blood & Wine from Grindian.

Baby, It's Cold Outside [Frank Loesser] - Orestes

This is an amazing loop version of the song. He plays the accompanying chords first and follows it by the first melodic line, and finishes off with the duet line! It's very well done with an outstanding guitar tone. Happy holidays, and thanks Orestes!

The Blower's Daughter [Damien Rice] - unbelievers2 & James Brooks

A nice instrumental version of the song. It's good for the background while you grind out your Monday.

Tonight, Tonight [The Smashing Pumpkins] - BionicPianoMan

The latest from the fabulous BionicPianoMan.

Undone (The Sweater Song) [Weezer] - Ben Kweller

Weezer fans and Ben Kweller fans unite! The Sweater Song is a grunge classic and it is always nice to hear Ben Kweller play the grunge classics. This appears to have been performed at an Elementary School fund raiser. Way to go Kweller!

The Rain Song [Led Zeppelin] - arao2

We saw arao2 play Use of Time and we didn't see his face then either. But the point is the guitar playing in this one. It's the instrumental part of The Rain Song by Led Zeppelin. This is a beautiful song and he plays it well. Makes me want to learn it actually. If you stop to think about it, you can hear how it was inspired by rain.

Killing In The Name [Rage Against The Machine] - MrGSpot3

Hands down the most original and unusual cover version so far on this site! A jazz piano version of Killing In The Name...who would have guessed!? Besides Dave Brubeck...he might have guessed.

Baby, It's Cold Outside [Frank Loesser] - Zooey Deschanel & Will Ferrell

In the spirit of Christmas (although this is not specifically a Christmas song) I thought it would be fun to show this little clip from Elf with a nice little treatment of Baby, It's Cold Outside sung by Zooey Deschanel & Will Ferrell. I love Zooey's voice and wish that she had more music available, although I want to get the She & Him album she recently released.

Hopelessly Devoted To You [Olivia Newton John] - Kristin Rian

Kristin Rian has a beautiful voice and this is a classic song. She does a wonderful job! It's a good recording too, which always helps.

Karma Police [Radiohead] - Raoul Le Pennec

This really blew me away! I loved it! This guy has a great voice and the piano part was really interesting! I can't even stop using exclamation points! Of course, I always admired this song anyway, but this version made me happy. Plus, it's kind of a Christmas-y video with the lights in the foreground. If you only listen to/watch one video from this blog this week, this is the one.

Mr. Brightside [The Killers] - ortoPilot

ortoPilot has a distinct style of doing cover songs. I enjoyed this one. He was recently featured in a concert for "Youtube's Finest."

Tom Sawyer [Rush] - H-SUR

These guys are pros.

Rocky Raccoon [The Beatles] - Grindian

This song is really awesome and he makes it work for solo acoustic! Impressive, right? I thought so too. A nice way to end a 3 1/2 hour accounting test.
