This is more of a parody than a cover version, but I like it, like it, Yes I do!

The band Big Daddy with their 50s styled covers.
Welcome to the Jungle Dancing in the Dark I like their cover of Purple Rain but couldn't find it on YouTube. |

I love Dread Zeppelin's Immigrant Song in the style of Elvis.

As with any cover, if a Dokaka version exists, its wins.
I actually have recordings of him doing Fracture, LTIA, Creeping Death, The Trooper and Ramblin' Man. This is all I could find on YoTub. Honorable Mention to Richard Cheese Ok, and one a little more serious. Panzerballett's cover of Ramstein's Mein Teil Edited by Tapfret - July 25 2021 at 23:19 |

^ I totally agree. It's a Wonderfull version of Wonderwall, and by an incredible coincidence, the Mike Flowers Pops was the next video I had lined up to post here.
By the way, in case you didn't already know, the retro Mike Flowers Pops are based on the groovy sixties band, Harpers Bizarre. Notice the uncanny resemblance between the blonde-haired lead singers.  Edited by Psychedelic Paul - July 25 2021 at 13:36 |

You're right, Nick. I 'avant heard much Avant Prog, as it's a bit too offbeat for my musical tastes. This funny video was the inspiration for the thread title...... Weird Al Yankovic - Smells Like Nirvana |

I came to this post expecting it to be about the Belgian RIO/Avant band Aranis and what my memory erroneously thought of as their “Smells Like Nirvana” album (actually “Smells Like Aranis”). I was intrigued, as I wondered how Paul might have come across the album, given his musical tastes don’t normally stretch to the avant.
But this is a highly enjoyable album, with some interesting arrangements: |

On the subject of Enter Sandman, I really like this version by Robert & Toyah, although that may have something to do with Toyah's tight sweater.  |

And I think this cover of Personal Jesus in the style of Motorhead is well done.

And is this alternative? Metallica's Enter Sandman done in the Let's Dance style of David Bowie.

Since country music doesn't get much as around here, how about Sturgill Simpson's cover of Nirvana's In Bloom.

Speaking of Smells Like Teen Spirit, here's a crazy instrumental cover by this great Fusion band. I really loved the drum solo at the end. Edited by yogev - July 25 2021 at 08:47 |
