Astronaut Performs First Cover of ‘Space Oddity’ from Space
As good as David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' is, it's still rather surreal watching someone perform it from space.

When I first got into radio, (big) bands weren't really doing covers. Yeah, every so often one would pop up, but they weren't as evident as they are today. When the tidal wave of these big bands doing covers first hit, I was adamantly opposed to the idea of cover songs. To me, they were for small bands who play the bars on the weekend. Yeah, that sounds a bit harsh, but it's what I honestly felt. Then, I finally talked to a couple of these bigger artists about their decision to do covers and they resoundingly replied that they were paying homage to the great bands and songs that influenced them. That's when I shed the opposition to covers.
This is the perfect way to relive those golden years back in the '90s before you hardened your heart and started listening exclusively to death metal. It's a metal guitar version of your 12-year-old self's favorite song -- 'Barbie Girl' by Scandinavian dance-pop group Aqua.
Sevendust are set to rock our faces off with Rock 108's Shamrock n Roll. And, while the band has some killer songs of their own, they are no strangers to throwing down some killer covers as well. Check out some of my favorite covers songs by Sevendust.
You know the good thing about Alison Brie? You can never have too much of her. Here she is onstage in Santa Monica with her band, The Girls, performing a song by the White Stripes.
Adam Sandler became the one millionth person to cover Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' last night at the 12/12/12 concert benefiting Hurricane Sandy relief. Only his version was chock-full of racy New York City-specific jokes.
Whatever your opinion of heavy metal god and legendary crankster Dave Mustaine, there's no denying that the dude can shred. But what's even more impressive is this amazing cover of Mustaine's solo from Megadeth's 'Holy Wars...The Punishment Due.' Oh, and did we mention that this heavy metal fan plays it on an iPhone?
We always assumed there was no way to truly improve upon 'Gangnam Style,' the monster viral hit by Korean pop star Psy. But then we saw this awesome acoustic cover and knew that we were wrong, oh so wrong.
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen something take over the internet as much as ‘Gangnam Style’ has recently. Wait, just kidding. There was that whole ‘Call Me Maybe’ trend back in the summer, right?
It's true -- everybody likes Psy's 'Gangnam Style.' This latest (and perhaps most impressive) version is performed by the Ohio University marching band. And although Korean rap doesn't necessarily translate to
Back in the day I was opposed to "big" bands performing cover songs but now my opinion on the topic has softened to the point that I actually love cover songs. Recently, we got the latest song by Charm City Devils and it was a cover of 'Man of Constant Sorrow' and that got me thinking about my favorite cover tunes.
