minus-squareClbull@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoWord Up - Korn. Completely shits all over the original sung by Cameo. Africa - Quietdrive. This one is quite divisive, so I’ll also link Weezer’s more faithful cover. Midnight At The Oasis - The Brand New Heavies. Don’t get me wrong, Maria Muldaur’s original version was great, but it just works so much better as an acid jazz and funk song. As for remixes… One Night Stand (Sunship Remix) - Mis-Teeq. It’s so much better than the original by a mile. Alesha Dixon genuinely drops some fucking bars in the remix. Selekta (SIDEQUEST Remix) - Kyle Gordon. I don’t understand why this isn’t the official version. The difference is that this version is 45 seconds longer and has an additional verse.
