If we're doing stuff like that Daft Punk thing where it's taken from $1 cds full of cover songs you buy at wal-mart, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0kluTStX_Y

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf6jYuCZgoA It's Violent J from the Insane Clown Posse singing Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel". The cover is clearly in on its own joke about how Violent J can't sing, even going as far as to splice in audio clips of his entourage going

EvilGenius posted:^^^ in the UK one of the big national radio stations does a show, Live Lounge, where artists come in and cover something that's in the charts. It's invariably trendy Indy bands doing oh so ironic covers of pop songs, and sounds exactly like this. Almost always terrible. I seem to remember this whole thing kicking off when awful Scot band Travis came on and did a version of Britney Spear's "Hit Me Baby One More Time", and everything just got worse from then on, unless you could only enjoy the likes of "Hey Ya" from the whitest acts available.

It's invariably trendy Indy bands doing oh so ironic covers of pop songs, and sounds exactly like this. Almost always terrible. The Onion AV Club had a similar segment going where bands (some well-known, mostly unheard) would do covers of Top 40 hits. The well-known acts generally did a good job with the material, but the lesser known acts all had to let you know how much cooler and above the songs they were. But I'd rather listen to Semi-Charmed Life on the radio for the umpteenth time than listen to whatever this incomprehensible poo poo is supposed to be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiUiSt2Hk1c

They have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enq5Xt_yTFE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syJCTJCFyE8 BigFactory posted:I dunno, I think they pretty much define "adorkable" for the the youtube generation.

I heard an electronica/dubstep cover of Tom Waits' 'Way Down in the Hole' the other week. Kind of relieved I can't locate it with a cursory search.

SineRider posted:This awful poo poo I don't really see what's so bad about this? I mean I guess if you prefer beep-boop future robots to clank-clank old-timey robots? Really it's just taking a dance song and re-contextualizing it as a folk/acoustic rock song. It's not poorly done, and minus the getup (which, again, differs from the source only in the period of "robot" look they're going for) wouldn't sound too out of place on some folk hour or something. Like I guess I don't get the rage?

Steam Powered Giraffe are a bunch of horrible smelly loving nerds who suck at everything. Hope this helps.

Not the worst, but still not particularly good: Meat Loaf covers "Come Together" circa 1996.

stay depressed posted:can you elaborate on the point for me? It's some pretty thin commentary about the nature of electronic music. It's not a great, well thought out point, but it's at least there. You could also argue that the nature of the anonymity the masks provide is important, especially as other people have worn the masks in videos/movies/whatever, but I don't want to go all Supermechagodzilla on a techno group. But setting that aside, here's another thing that makes them different than SPG: Daft Punk have professionally made, cool LED helmets. SPG look like they should be hanging out in the ballpit at Dashcon.

so that means I can be a cheapskate and post about posting instead of having some wit or spending any more on comedy avs for people. Which I'm also incapable of. Comedy.
