Day 5: A cover song that's better than the original

I prefer Easy by Faith No More to the original by The Commodores. Sorry Lionel, but I love me some Mike Patton

Day 5: A cover song that’s better than the original

Weezer - Africa (starring Weird Al Yankovic)​

so the story behind the song is what makes it so good...a 14 year old fan pressed on social media for months for Weezer to cover Africa by Toto...in response (as a joke) they covered Rosanna by Toto...a few months later they gave in to mounting pressure and covered the song at the fans request...

It took me a while to find out that this was a cover song. They also did a cover of Spirits of the Night

Both are great but I do like SRV's version more... An incredible talent who does justice to a great song.

Day 5: A Cover Song That is Better Than the Original Part II: This time it's Seether.

Only day five, and I am cashing in my bonus song. I am not a George Michael guy. Never have been. The only song I could stand by him was "Careless Whisper." Also, I am not a Seether guy. Never have been. The only song I could stand by them was a cover of "Careless Whisper."

Honestly, Shaun Morgan does an amazing job on the vocals here, just pouring his heart into this. What he puts into "please stay!" is heartbreaking. And no overdone sexy sax! I bet Andrew Ridgeley probably liked it too.

"Careless Whisper," Seether (George Micheal (though Andrew Ridgeley co-wrote it, and it was also on a Wham! album) cover)
