A lot of linkage going on this week. Today, I was doing some searching on fark.com and ran into this:
That’s right, a Gregorian Monks chant cover of “Comfortably Numb.” The Pink Floyd epic is haunting, but, this is just damn near ghoulish. It’s scary. It also got me thinking. There are many unconventional covers out there. That sparked a search for some of the coolest, most atypical and somewhat esoteric covers of rock standards. First, let’s start with Andy McKee’s great guitar cover of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”
Now, that’s just a cool piece of music. Next up, a choir version of “Smells like Teen Spirit.”
And, last, but certainly not least, a little “Umbrella” by Biffy Clyro. Enjoy!
Feel free to add some of your own choices for unconventional covers in the comments section below.

Lisa Hannigans cover of ‘Personal Jesus’ is good. Seen her play it last December live. She’s great ❤
I love her voice. It’s sultry. Great cover thanks for posting it. And, I love the epileptic breakdown lol
She’s so good looking that my wife fainted at the gig! About 5 songs in… Once recovered we had to go sit on the balcony and catch the rest.
Wow…that is the true golden road to unlimited devotion lol
How bad is this??!!
How one can actually enjoy that music is simply baffling lol
