I’ll start with the “soul added” with Architecture in Helsinki’s Heart it Races being covered by Dr. Dog
Patti Smith’s Gloria is obviously a prime example of Whole New Level (though the original Van Morrison version is still great
Bet you didn’t know Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is actually a cover and was written by a dude! I’m a big Cyndi Lauper fan but this version fucking slaps
Hell yeah we’re Lauper posting in this MF.
Edit: Dude yeah this shit slaps.
I know right! It’s like if the early The Clash did it.
Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Baby One More Time by Slothrust
This one is solidly soul added, it’s not just a genre swap, especially cause the original has the blues rhythm in its bones, but the cover doesn’t make me forget that Britney sang it first.
i fucking adore this cover. gud post
Successful Genre Swap: Screaming Females cover of Shake It Off
Soul Added: Shatner’s cover of Common People by Pulp . It’s actually good and I unironically prefer it to the original.
Fun fact my most successful tinder profile photo was one taken next to Marissa from Screaming Females
Goddamn i forget how good Screaming Females is.
