Seether's "Careless Whispers"

Here's the song that had me all o_O the other day. It's quite something, really.

It is pretty kick ass, isn't it? Even my husband was impressed with it! :-)

No, that is not one of mine.

That's neat. I don't know if I could ever do a cover like that. I have a hard time singing a song not in the way the original artist sang it on the record. Live versions just throw me.

Not that I have any call to ever sing a song other than in my house or in the car. :D

I'm with ya on that one. I can't sing, really, but I totally belt crap out in the car and shower all the time. :-)

Wow, that's pretty good. And I was a huge fan of the original, which would normally make me resistant to accepting a cover. Normally covers make me cringe, though there's the odd stand-out (like Alien Ant Farm's version of Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal). This one's pretty damn good. I think it's the mark of a good song when it can be covered in any genre and still sound cool.

I think it works because it is such a different genre. If someone else had tried to do it like Wham! did it, I don't think it would have worked as well.

Yes, I agree. If a boy band had done it, it would have been like a pale imitation of the original.

Wow. I love Seether, but this is an amazing cover. I almost didn't recognize the song at first.

Me, neither! It wasn't really until the chorus started that I realized what was going on.
