Day 19: A cover song by the opposite gender of the original

I mean… Prince. He’s a genius. He’s on a very short list of musicians I wish I could have seen live. I love his cover of this song.

The Band did the original in 1969. Joan Baez did her version two years later. Props to her for keeping the original lyrics.

I think I got a free pass for indigenous peoples day. Was looking for Stand By Your Man, but got this double shot.

Day 19: A cover song by the opposite gender of the original

I've posted a while ago about Australian phenoms King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, the absolute maniacs who put out 7 albums of different genres in a single year. They're up to 26 albums now, in a decade. And it's all fucking fantastic.

I was literally squeeeeee'ing when I found this vid.
Ellie taking my favorite Gizzard song and turning it into this... masterpiece.

Wolf Alice - Sense

Great band!!

Day 18: A song that mentions pancakes food

Since someone came in and stole my pick I’m just gonna leave this

Just kidding! (Eleven seconds doesn’t count @morelikeasong )

I love this song mashed up with an Alicia Keys song. Now I'm hungry for some bacon pancakes in New York...

My go-to covers have all been my choices for other prompts in the past.

I already had two male covers of this on one of my playlists, time to add another.

I was wondering if they were covering the Natalie Imbruglia version or Ednaswap.

Not to be that guy, but that’s a Prince song. But I guess it’s a cover of a cover.

It’s not a cover, it’s his song, and yes he was amazing to see live.

Fun fact: he wrote the song

Oh you beat me to it

A cover song by an artist of a different gender than the original
Ike doesn’t count because fuck Ike, so this is just Tina doing Proud Mary

Hmmm, that one won’t show, try this

Ike doesn’t count because fuck Ike...

Hmmm, that one won’t show, try this

Apparently YouTube agrees...

Day 19: A cover song by the opposite gender of the original (Take two)

I am using my Second Song Pass for this one to show how it can go the other direction. The Offspring's "Self-Esteem" is a light, self-abasing, self-pitying song about a guy allowing himself to be taken advantage of by his partner because he has esteem issues. But the pop-punk staple sounds much different in Mimi Page's ethereal triphop cover, and a great example of how changing the gender changes the meaning, feeling much darker, sadder, and trapped.

"Self Esteem," Mimi Page (originally performed by The Offspring)

Day 19: A cover song by the opposite gender of the original

It took me about .2 seconds to decide that I'd use this song for this prompt. Besides, I can't go a whole month without posting a Brandi Carlile clip here. @Trekka, if she's still pinging around, knows why. This is originally an Avett Brothers song, and in her way, she very much makes it her own.
