A Very Strange Cover Song


There have been threads for "better than original" cover songs and threads for horrible cover songs. This cover song doesn't really fit into those categories or anywhere in between. It just makes no common sense why it was actually done, unless we go further with what Lawrence Welk calls the song at the end. Maybe he had more than bubbles behind the orchestra.

Any others that might be a fit for the strange category?

I found Shelby Lynne/Allison Moorer cover of "Lithium" to be "Strange".

How about an artist covering his own song? Rodney Crowell "Ain't Living Long Like This" / his acoustic version.

Check out the Finnish TV cover of YMCA. Kind of makes the Village People look tame. Whoa!
