But tbh Triple J’s Like a Version blows it out of the water
Especially giving artists the leeway to try genre switching
Like Denzel Curry covering Rage Against the Machine for instance
- Someday (Julia Jacklin cover of The Strokes)
- Love (CHVRCHES cover of Kendrick Lamar)
- Feels Like We Only Go Backwards (Arctic Monkeys cover of Tame Impala)
- Do I Wanna Know (CHVRCHES cover of Arctic Monkeys)
- Believe (DMA's cover of Cher)
And speaking of Australian childrens TV and Like A Version covers, the Wiggles covered Tame Impala's Elephant (bet you didn't expect that one!)
Australian covers go back further in time, of course ...
The Wiggles famously covered AC/DC's It's a Long Way to the Shop (If You Wanna Sausage Roll)
and Rolf Harris infamously covered I Touch Myself originally by the Divinyls
These, and more, prompted by guest appearence's on Andrew Denton's Musical Challenge and collected on a couple of records (today on youtube etc.).
