covers
Ragnar Bjarnason - Smells Like Teen Spirit
This lounge version with horns and percussion is so laid-back. I love playing this when people are around, just to see the looks on their faces when they catch some of the lyrics and realise what they're listening to.
(Similarly, for the five people who haven't bathed in its glory yet: (youtube) ukulele orchestra version!)
The Beach Boys - Crocodile Rock
Harmonic bopping fun. From Two Rooms, full of mostly-good covers of Elton John (Jon Bon Jovi's is terribad, but Kate Bush's and The Who's make up for theirs).
(youtube) Doug Anthony Allstars & Barry Crocker - Stairway to Heaven
This is a (live) comedic cover that angers my father, so you may not want to listen to it if Led Zep are your rock gods. Includes discussions on how words can sometimes have two meanings and the origin of "bustle in your hedgerow".
