Title says it all. Mere samples in a hip hop track don't count, vice versa may. PLEASE DO NOT POST MORE THAN ONE OR TWO YOUTUBES IN YOUR POST ~Some of us have lovely old computers that can't handle 80 youtubes on one page.~ Example: Norwegian Röykssop made a fantastic track with Swedish Karin Dreijer Andersson, What Else is There. This was remixed by Danish Trentemøller, making it a pan-scandinavian. Trentemøller's remix was then remixed by Andi Müller and became this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_iDeYcMMTk Another example: New Order's 1983 song Confusion in its Pump Panel Reconstruction Mix – the only part I recognize is the chorus that slips into the background once in a while: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF8-DrGAOw8 A final example: The Beatniks – Stairway to Heaven (in the style of 1960s Beatles) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WfoccRna6I Carthag Tuek has a new favorite as of 01:46 on Mar 11, 2017 |

Wanamingo posted:What's the term for when an artist covers a song, and keeps the tune the same but changes the lyrics and genre? I don't think it's sampling, since that's usually just for one part of an otherwise original piece. I dunno what that is called. The Wu Tang track is definitely within this the aim of the thread (changing the gender of the singer, etc), but Busta's Iron Man version seems more like just a "standard" hip hop sample that they got Ozzy to sing along on. Eh, whatever, it's all good. But you're probably thinking like Obadiah Parker's Hey Ya cover right? Another good example for this thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c745E7T_Wvg

Also the 90s craze of poppish numetal covers of 80s pop songs. Of course there was Alien Ant Farm's version of MJs Smooth Criminal, but the one I think started the craze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-EdCNjumvI Limp Bizkit's version of George Michael's Faith.

A couple amazing live Tom Waits medleys from the late 1970s. They imo fit here because mixes his own songs with other songs, as in: Silent Night / Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis https://vimeo.com/33803455 Summertime / Burma Shave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LhKRxOgpPQ There's another version of the latter from the same tour, I don't think it has a video. Personally I think it's the best version of that song I have ever heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4Hli4qKUBo. It's on a bootleg called Cold Beer on a Hot Night if you look hard enough. Supposedly Sydney 1979.

Official ruling: Parodies by themselves don't count. I love Weird Al, but this isn't the thread for him. Someone making a "parodic" cover of a song in a different style does count, like the Rebecca Black Dylan cover you posted, or the Stairway to Heaven by 1960s Beatles cover I posted. Johnny Cash' version of Hurt definitely counts. Same song, different style, changes how you hear the song in a big way. Not a hard & fast rule though. Like some of the stuff I've posted isn't really that thought provoking, and a bunch of it is hella parodic. Make your own judgment I guess.

Not really a cover, and not really a remix, more like a recontextualization. Somehow it's so charming. You're there, in the car with Dave. http://tindeck.com/listen/fyky Pretty sure a goon is responsible.
