...

I have a thing for bands covering songs, i have an even bigger thing for bands covering unexpected songs that you never knew you missed and/or never knew you liked the first time round... you can spot these gems thus-ly - when you hear the cover version you'll most likely be singing along, maybe not enthusiastically at first, but there'll definitely be a little self conscious lip syncing to start with. Secondly you'll most likely be frantically asking the good folk around you "what is that?!".

example no. 1 - Frightened Rabbit covering N-Trance's 'Set You Free' (1995)


example no. 2 New Young Pony Club cover Technotronic's 'Pump Up The Jam' (1989)


ps. my love for that last one is unparalleled, if anyone has an mp3 of the cover please send it this way...
