As i discovered that Sick Seed will cover Jethro Tull's Heavy Horses at his new mCD "Technological Singularity", i wondered how many industrial/noise/PE artists covered famous songs are existed, how many are considered/ing here on the forum and if it reflects their likeness (new or old) or a kind of cynicism and alternative interpretations into more dark, cruel and lunatic directions.

Few of them:

Brighter Death Now - Bad (Michael Jackson cover): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLjfXudGJAc
Lille Roger - Touch Me (Samantha Fox cover): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTGm3x3Zi_g
Dark Session - What A Horrible World (Dedicated to Louis Armstrong): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDqOlLVbD9w

Also, which songs (in any genre) would you like to hear covered and by whom?

CON-DOMs takes on White Christmas and Ebony & Ivory. And Brighter Death Now's version of Take Me Away, a nice homage I think.

Haha, not really Dark Session but it's all cool...

Sick Seed has covered tons of artists/bands in the past. "Guilty Pleasures" is basically filled with cover tracks (Billie Holiday, Pink Floyd etc). Then there's Snow Fell by Skrewdriver on "The Great Corrupter", "Praise The Children" by Autopsy and "Locust Furnace" by Godflesh on "Live + 1". Not exactly pop music, but whatever, hail SS!

13 HitSodomy is the first exploit of Carl Cryplant. It was distributed in 1985 by Club Moral with zero information apart from the title tracks and the names of the composers. All tracks are sodomised versions of music popular with many young people at the time and in the tradition of the numerous "13 Original Hits" compilations that came out in the 1970s and 1980s. No digital manipulation or computers were involved in the making and recording of this music. These tracks are all made with the use of a turntable, two synthesizers and a microphone, all recorded straight onto a Maxell Metaxial MX 60 cassette, no remastering, no bullshitting.

19th Nervous Breakdown by Jagger, Richard & Cryplant is wrecked up and mangled like a nervous breakdown should really sound like. I'll Be Your Mirror by Reed & Cryplant is mirrored and reverbed. Lucifer Sam by Barrett & Cryplant is hashed and mashed in a druggy fashion. I'm Eighteen by Bruce, Cooper, Dunaway, Smith, Buxton & Cryplant sounds like a musical fart of any youngster in their parent's face. The Man Who Sold the World by Bowie & Cryplant has a synthesized bum collecting money outside the supermarket. Buick Mackane by Bolan & Cryplant is like a monster coming slowly. Search and Destroy by Pop, Williamson & Cryplant has some pretty destruction going on at the buttons of the synths and the mixer. Holidays in the Sun by Cook, Jones, Rotten, Vicious & Cryplant have an army marching over it. Ghost Rider by Rev, Vega & Cryplant is pretty feedbacked in the exhaust system. Gut Feeling by Mothersbaugh, Mothersbaugh and Cryplant has Carl puking out the contents of his stomach. Dish it Out by Chance & Cryplant is dished out with frenzied filter attacks. Something Came Over Me by Carter, Christopherson, P-Orridge, Tutti & Cryplant has an ocean overwhelming it. Mindphaser by Reuter, Bennett, McKay & Cryplant is the first and unequivocal danceable mix of any Whitehouse tune.

Carl Cryplant has been living as a recluse in a small shack next to the railway track in the small village of Mirwart in the Belgian Ardennes ever since. Until early 2006 when he suddenly popped up with some new tunes posted on various music websites like MySpace, Get Your Bootleg On, SoundClick, Multiply, Breakbeat Paradise and various DJ and mash-up forums.
In all 7 new sodomised hits were recorded, now with additional digital resources next to his trustworthy analog synthesizers. The Beat Goes On by Sonny, Cher & Cryplant features a stunning and steaming guest vocal by Sally Cryplant. Breathe by Skint, Howlett, Maxim & Cryplant is the ultimate breathing lesson from post-war Germany to Jonestown. I Think I'm Paranoid by Garbage & Cryplant is Carl imagining he's Salvador Dali for what it's worth, and that's a lot! Billion Dollar Babies by Bruce, Buxton, Dunaway, Smith & Cryplant is turned into a very fast and sick moneymaking game featuring Ed Kemper playing around with erased heads. I Wanna Be Sedated by Ramone & Cryplant turns punk into a war carnival. You Don't Own Me by Gore & Cryplant is the sound of Carl beaten up by all the people who want to own him, or maybe the by ones whose tunes he disowned. Praise You by Slim & Cryplant brings on Mahatma Gandhi and a full posse of Hare Krishna singers. The Jean Genie by Bowie & Cryplant is an ode to Jean Genet and to theft.

I don't know if the track of Caligula031 Sweet Home Valtellina from the Human Garbage compilation can be considered as cover, however the note said that's is obviously ispired by the famous Sweet Home Alabama of Lynyrd Skynyrd!

HALFLINGS "Justify My Love" appeared on the Chondritic Sound "Steel Trap" 3x-cs compilation. Super sleazy, a good cover... but the original is just so erotic... boys can't top Madonna!

ThisMachineKillsMusic covered The Normal's Warm Leatherette in a recent video about the song's history and influence. There are equal parts Jasper synth snarls and car crash sounds in this one:

Eric Lunde's track "My Atom Bomb Pianl" on the "Neither Lot Nor Sums" cassette covers the lyrics of Warren Zevon's "Play It All Night Long" in a PE/death industrial style (it's also dedicated to someone very near and dear to me, haha):

I'm pretty sure NA isn't a popgroup.

I dunno if "cover" is the right word but I always enjoyed Love Katy's HNW "renditions" of Katy Perry songs. Are they covers? Probably not.

I however am a huge Einstürzende Neubauten fan but never cared for the cover of "Sand".
