I know, right? Now tell your friends!

      I love Cee-Lo and that song’s great, but that album came out in November of 2010, and the song was released as a single well before. I should know. I reviewed it. http://audiosuede.com/cee-lo-green-the-lady-killer/

      They Might Be Giants worked some kind of “cover version” miracle with their remake of “Tubthumping.”

      These guys did a jazz cover of a Super Mario Bros 3 speed run. It’s pretty cool.

      This one is right up there with the Cee-Lo cover for best of the year in my opinion. Bon Iver covering Bonnie Raitt: Gorgeous and heartbreaking.

      I don’t know if it’ll be unfair for me to not like this whole post because Cee Lo Green’s cover. So I’ll just go to my corner and cry.
