Interactive Poll X: Cover Your Ears!

Out of competition. This is a mashup/cover by Brass Against of Beyoncé's Freedom and Rage Against the Machine's Freedom.

A couple of Twin Peaks tracks were covered already in the TV show soundtracks topic and recently I did a poll which mentions the album Xiu Xiu Plays the Music of Twin Peaks, and I don't want to cover the examples I used there. Instead of going for instrumentals, I will go for two proper songs (have vocals) -- one used in Twin Peaks, and the 2016 "tribute".

Julee Cruise - "Into the Night" (1989)



Xiu Xiu - "Into the Night" (2016)



In the poll I did mentioning this Xiu Xiu album someone mentioned that they aren't interested in covers (I am), and in this case I think that Xiu Xiu have re-interpreted music and given it very much their own spin, so while based on other music and certainly directly inspired by it, it also has uniqueness.

* edited to change my "Into the Night" embed to a video that seems to work more globally (thanks Anders).

By the way, love the topic and title for it.

It crossed my mind, and I'm very well aware about (non)including prog stuff especially if they have received 50 or more ratings. I'm not sure, but I think we can make an exception on this particular round. If it is up to me, I can allow one of the ProgArchived songs here. What do you and others think?   The rules given in the OP didn't exclude PA tracks for either the original or the cover, and because of this, both of my tracks are in PA.

It is never too late. If necessary, I can edit my original post and rule the inclusion of prog stuff out, and so you can edit your original post and nominate some other songs.

I'm okay with prog songs, but we normally exclude them. Lorenzo? I'll do whatever you say, as you're the originator of the Interactive Poll format.

^ Thanks Anders for checking it out and finding that video. That is the same, and since that works in both my country and yours, I will edit my former post to include your find. Much appreciated.

The clip for the original version of "Via con me" doesn't work here. Is this the right version?

Johnny Cash - "Rusty Cage" [video removed for space] But I bet most of you haven't heard this version of it..... Sara DeBell - "Rusty Cage" [video removed for space]
