OT: Favored Alternate Arrangements of Songs

[Waquoit]

Aluminny mentioned Bonnie Raitt and Big Al in subsequent posts, made me think of this one I always liked. Like how she doesn't change the words.

 

[Aluminny69]

Does this count?

Love this video by acapella group Pentatonix, covering Cheerleader origially performed by Reggae/Soul/Urban Pop sensation OMI. Hard to believe there are no instruments used in this arrangement.

Slightly different arrangement, different language. Maybe what the Eagles were after. I mean it was originally called "Mexican Reggae".

Hotel California - Gipsy Kings

 

[SVCBeercats]

Originally recorded by Bruce Springsteen.

 

[meyers7]

My favorite arrangement of Al Green's "Take Me To The River"

Talking Heads

 

[meyers7]

Muse arrangement of Prince's "Sign O' The Times"

 

[Aluminny69]

Again, no instruments. Unbelievable!

 

[meyers7]

Although some may consider sacrilege. I prefer Cake's arrangement of "War Pigs" (Black Sabbath if you live under a rock.)

If you are going to pick alternate Springsteen, you need to include the best one (and biggest hit):

Sorry, I duped this song. I didn't see it. I tried to delete my post but selecting DELETE won't work.

One thing I loved about Gentle Giant is that they never tried to recreate studio versions of their songs when playing live. They often completely rearranged the music, as in this one. I saw them, I think at Woolsey in around 1977, and they played this.
