Here's "Het lied van Aladdin" ("Aladdin's Song"), a re-writing of ABBA's "Super Trouper" from Abbacadabra, which I believe was the original musical based around ABBA songs over a decade and a half before Mamma Mia! premiered in London. Abbacadabra was originally produced for French children's television in 1983 but this is from the Dutch version.

 
Hello frens long-long time lurker first time poster. Finally got tired of getting banned and trolling faggots from other sites/boards that have music threads/forums. I am the asshole who consistently posts some of the best playlists (according to other anon's and my own ego) on the dead Mongolian glownigger site. If you ever lurked on said site you've heard my drops. I sort through hours of absolute shit to find that small sliver of human creativity and soul. As we all know that spark is getting harder and harder to find, it's not gone just shadow banned. When you do find it nothing beats that feel of finding something new or refreshing. I endeavor to listen to your drops and hopefully contribute to you finding that Spark and Flame as well. Thanks for reading my diary let's kick this off with an obscure cover from a nobody but it sounds better than the O.G. (way-over-produced because of 80's crack is my guess).

There But For The Grace Of God​

original

cover
 
Electric Six cover of Queen's "Radio Ga Ga", I think it absolutely slaps and the video is hilarious:


I remember people arguing quite passionately about whether this was a heartfelt homage or a disrespectful parody when I first saw it. I lean toward the former.
 
Marilyn Manson did a cover of Five to One by The Doors (badass song, especially when it was used in Last Blood), and his style compliments well, actually, but, unfortunately, towards the end of the song, he keeps muttering "I wanna fuck you, blah, blah-blah-blah... *sexual breathing*"

This perhaps belongs on Unpopular Views About Music instead, but I can't stand it when people cover songs, soundtracks and so on, and throw in their own shit. Like when people have done guitar covers of, say, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Killer Instinct music, they do a generic-look-how-fast-and-loud-I-can-shred-my-guitar, solo, that's got fuck all place in what they're playing.
 
Some curiosities:

A Celtic cover of Metallica's Until it Sleeps

A cover of Metallica's Master of Puppets, in the style of Muse

An acoustic cover of Spiders by System of a Down

Live acoustic, somewhat orchestral cover of Aerials by System of a Down

Something a bit obscure: there's a band called The Dear Hunter, and one of their songs, Is "There Anybody Here?" is very obviously inspired by Pink Floyd.
So, obviously, someone made a cover of (part of) it in the style of Pink Floyd.

And not exactly a cover, but something I found very interesting, Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater trying to learn and play the drums of Pneuma by Tool
