Funniest cover

[Appelmoes??]

Almost every band has done a cover (or more) but the best (read: Funniest) covers are the ridiculous ones.

My fav's funny covers are:
Ein bisschien friede done by Rammstein. The machinegun and screaming part makes it complete)
Mr. Sandman by Blind Guardian. With a voice like that singer nobody falls a sleep

So, what do you think is a funny cover?

[The Butterfly Man]

The Britney Spears song 'Hit Me One More Time' done by the Dutch band Intwine. I saw them performing it and it was hilarious!

All cover's of Weird Al Yankovich are great. When i first saw the video of Like A Surgeon (Madonna), it took days to get over that. Hilarious.

And here in Holland we've got a thing called Ome Henk. He did some amazing stuff too.

MAD.

Those aren't covers, that's parody

The "Hit me one more time" is also a parody.

I think Weird Al Yankovich is the king among the coverers (whatever).

I like his "Another one rides the bus" (Queen) and "Ebay" (Backstreet Boys) or maybe "Amish Paradise" (Coolio).

Amazing stuff.


(I don't like Ome Henk btw)

Yes it was!

Thats funny and disturbing at the same time.

Not heard any Blind Guardian, what is the rest of thier music like?

Melodic metal, with a soft edge I can;t really describe it, I find they have a quit unique sound. Most songs are pretty rough and fast, while other sorter and softer songs are sometimes placed between those hard songs. You'd better take a listen in a cd-shop before you buy it, but on the other hand I had to get used to it before I liked it.

PS. If you are a Tolkien fan, you MUST buy Nightfall on Middle-Earth

Try out Richard Cheese - funny American who makes jazzy-swingy-wingy cover-songs of popular classics. Favourites: Material Girl, Chop Suey ... can't really decide ...

Danke.

I dont know about funny covers, Marillion also has done funny videoclips, like Garden Party, where You see a group of boys (Fish included) disturbing a Garden party they do several funny things there with the people there celebrating. And the videoclip Heart of Lothian also very funny the band goes to a bar to play, then the manager is counting the bandmembers counting several times missing someone and sending them away they forgot Fish. Someones reading a newspaper when a can of white paint covering the newspaper while he was reading, and then people in a car laughing about it do drive into a shop etcetera
