8 Awesome Covers You Probably Haven't Heard

These are really great lesser-known YouTube covers by established artists. See the original blog post.

Childish Gambino - So Into You (Original by Tamia)

Like a Version / Via youtube.com

There is no rapping in this cover. Who knew Donald Glover had pipes like this?

Catfish & the Bottlemen – Black Skinhead/Howlin’ for You (Originals by Kanye West/The Black Keys)

BBC Like a Version / Via youtube.com

Fantastic mash-up of rock & hip-hop by a great up and coming band.

Daley - Chandelier (Original by Sia)

Daley / Via youtube.com

Everybody covers this song, but not like this. I'd like to hear any other male singer hit notes like this.

Jordie Davieson of San Cisco and Gossling - Somebody to Love (Original by Mark Ronson)

RockWiz / Via youtube.com

You may have never heard the original, or even these two artists, but trust me on how amazing this is.

Queens of the Stone Age - White Wedding (Original by Billy Idol)

Live 105 / QOTSA / Via youtube.com

My favorite band doing a rare acoustic cover of a huge 80's hit.

Vince Kidd - Like a Virgin (Original by Madonna)

SBTV / Via youtu.be

Another lesser known artist with amazing range. Note: it's better to close your eyes during this one. He's hard to watch but has the voice of a damn angel.

CVRCHES - Tightrope (Original by Janelle Monae)

Billboard / Via youtube.com

This is a weird one I go back and forth on. I love Janelle Monae too much to not like her songs no matter who covers them though.

Arctic Monkeys - Hold On We're Goin' Home (Original by Drake)

BBC Live Lounge / Via youtube.com

My all time favorite. This is how a cover is done.
