Covered Well

While looking at Mashuptown, I came across an interesting thing to mention (rather briefly, I know, but I'm running out of steam right about now), and it's combining an original version of a song with a cover of it. As mentioned here, a famous example was A Plus D combining the original Crazy with Nelly Furtado's, which can be found on sites like BeeMP3.

The link I provided to Mashuptown also has the song that inspired me to do this, which is the two most famous versions of Tainted Love. No matter which one you prefer, you should enjoy this work from Copycat, where you hear the cover's vocals and music, but the music is changed so that it matches the beat of the Jones version, which to me makes it sound like Good Thing, funnily enough.

I know this is different, but combining a song with a later tune that samples the earlier tune, can also be pretty cool. For example, the aforementioned A Plus D and the song they have on their webpage of I Keep Forgettin' To Regulate, which makes you see what happens when Nate Dogg and Warren G sing directly over the song they sample rather than just using the sample and modifying it. Regulate is a song I rate pretty highly, by the way.

I'll be back around this time next week with another mashup.
