Cover Songs

We love kids. And they love school. Well, not all of them, but for many school can provide some of the best experiences growing up. We all have our special memories, but school kids these days are lucky enough to grow up in the YouTube-era. Here are two videos featuring international students participating in choreographed performances at their school.

The first Radiohead song most people heard was 'Creep,' from the band's 1993 album 'Pablo Honey.' It's a unique and amazing tune about desperation and longing which signaled from the beginning that Radiohead was a different type of band. During a recent show at Le Poisson Rouge in Greenwich Village, singer and Broadway actor Carrie Manolakos did a cover of the song you have to hear to believe. (NS

The peppy lads in the scorching hot British boy band One Direction were all around five when the last episode of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' aired. But they've clearly been exposed to the sitcom's famous theme song, and like anyone who's heard the infectious tune they can't get it out of their heads.

Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" is already a smash hit on the radio, having been covered by numerous wannabe singers on YouTube and spoofed for an 'SNL' digital short. Now the song has gotten a unique cover by acapella group Pentatonix.

Move over Jonas Brothers. Take a powder, One Direction. There's a new youthful musical group getting a lot of buzz on the Web-- and they're a family.

Normally, a cappella music doesn't leave many people with their jaws hitting the floor. This remake of a 'South Park' song, however, is pure gold.

Performers like to put their mark on the national anthem, particularly at major sporting events. But while adding something extra to 'The Star-Spangled Banner' works for the Christina Aguileras or Zooey Deschanels of the world, it didn't go over so well for The Fray, who performed before last night's NCAA men's basketball title game between Kentucky and Kansas.

By now, you've seen the infamous video of 29-year-old Robert Wilkinson, the man who delivered a drunken rendition of Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' from the back of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police cruiser. Now, Wilkinson attempts an encore by performing "Handle With Care" by the Traveling Wilburys.

The epic and ominous orchestration during the opening credits of 'Game of Thrones' goes a long way to setting the show's dark and brutal tone. As openings go, it's pretty close to perfect. At least we thought so until we saw Eric Calderone's heavy metal version of the theme. Now we are questioning whether the opening would be even better if it included some blazing guitar licks.

A lot of us sing inside our car, often while we are driving. But singing along when your favorite song comes on the radio is not the same as a band actually playing a live cover of a classic pop song while inside a moving van.

As this video begins, a man the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have picked up for public intoxication denies he's completely toasted. He pleads his case using the kind of  drunk logic that includes phrases such as "brotherhood of  men on the planet Earth." It's all very entertaining to hear a clearly inebriated person deny his altered state. But it's nothing compared to what comes next. R

Perhaps the most memorable moment of 'Mad Men's' season five premiere Sunday night was Jessica Paré's sultry perfomance of the song 'Zou Bisou Bisou.' Paré, who plays Don Draper's young new wife Megan, is French-Canadian, and she used her bilingual skills to sing the sexy French language song during Draper's 40th birthday party.

Playing a heavy metal version of a cartoon theme song isn't going to win you a spot in the rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. But it will win over a whole lot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles fans.

The internet has always been a great place for indie bands to make the leap from having a cult following into becoming a household name. The key to scoring big is to make your video unique, and that is exactly what indie group 'Walk Off The Earth' has done in their latest viral hit cover of Malvina Reynolds' song 'Little Boxes.' Yep, the band plays the track with instruments made of, you guessed i

Adele is inescapable these days. The British singer continues to dominate the charts, and her songs are all over the radio and YouTube, thanks to aspiring singers uploading their covers of her many hits. Adele's music influences both young and old alike. Even the really young adore Adele, as evidenced by two-year-old Makena, who looks so cute as she mumbles through 'Someone Like You.'
