Music Videos: Cover Songs That Outshine The Original

Cover songs play a vital role in the music industry. Many bands have been launched on the back of a great cover – going on to perform and record original music. There have also been a number of artists who are already great in their own right who have a hit with a cover song. This list deals with the latter category.

Happy Mondays – Step on

Original: John Kongos
Classic Ryder take on great rambling dance hall shuffle from South Africa. While the lyric “Oh he lied, oooh he’s twistin’ my melon man” sounded perfectly logical coming from Shaun Ryders Ecstasy fuelled mind, it wasn’t his line.

Petshop Boys – Always on my Mind

Original: Brenda Lee
Neil Tennant always had an ear for the sublime hook. And with this cover of Brenda Lee’s 1972 song, that was also covered by Elvis Presley (1972) Wilie Nelson (1982), the Petshop Boys took the song to a UK Number One.

Sinead O’Connor – Nothing Compares to you

Original: Prince
Sinead O’Connor had a world wide number one hit in 1990 with this cover of the Prince track originally performed by The Family in 1985. O’Connor’s version is the definitive version, and after the song became a number hit in the US, Australia, Germany and the UK, Prince even began to perform the song at his live shows.

Music Video Clip: Stand By Me Around the World

djStelios — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 05:45:52 +0000

Award winning producer and film director Mark Johnson, recorded a guy on his street singing “Stand By Me.” Then he traveled around the world and recorded about 100 other local artists doing the same and he edited some of the snippets of their footage into a video. It’s just too awesome.

There is also a documentary film co-directed by Johnson, expanding on the same idea.

This initiative of course is part of a larger program called “Playing For Change” which aims to connect the world through music. The foundation provides musicians around the world facilities to play music and enhance their skills, therefore not only making their lives better but also demonstrating how music brings people together regardless of cultural and socio-economic differences. Current projects include building a music school in Gugulethu (South Africa) to provide the youth there an alternative to the daily violence and deprivation they face; rebuilding and enhancing Tibetan refugee centers in Dharamsala and Kathmandu; and building an arts center in Johannesburg.
