So Much Cover Madness
Greetings and salutations, Hivers. Time for another Three Tune Tuesday post.

As always, thanks to @ablaze for starting this great series. Tons of people take part each week—follow the tag to discover some amazing music.
This week, I've got a fun mix for you. All three songs are covers (one is a mashup too), and each one lives up to — or even improves on — the original. There's a theme tying them together, but I’ll let you figure it out.
Let’s dive in.

POMPLAMOOSE ft. KO – Every Breath + 500 Miles
This one’s a mashup of Every Breath You Take by The Police and I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers. Both are classics. Especially the former, which is maybe the best track The Police ever did. Pomplamoose blends them seamlessly. Give it a spin.
Sing It Live – Walk Like an Egyptian
One of the catchiest songs of the 80s, now with a killer modern twist. The lead singer here is almost as cute as Susanna Hoffs — one of the original Bangles, but you knew that (I hope) — well...almost.
Martin Miller & Mark Lettieri – Purple Rain
I just can’t seem to get away from the 80s. But really — wasn’t that the best decade for music? Here’s one of its most iconic tracks, given a powerful, soulful treatment. An excellent cover of a legendary song.

So — what’s your favorite?

I enjoyed all 3, but my favourite is Walk Like An Egyptian. It was nice to hear from Pomplamoose, though my favourite of theirs is...

That is really good too!
I loved that choice
Reimagining classic songs in a new way gives them a fresh and unique life.
Agreed!
When I listen to remakes, often before the music starts I cringe because you never know what you are going to hear. These weren't bad. Sometimes when they put their own spin on it, it turns out better for the performance. It probably wouldn't sound as good if they tried to sing it the same as the original artist,
Yeah it seems like I don't like most covers for those reasons. But every now and then one hits the right way.
!PIMP it
The Bangles always give me a bit of the feels, so I have to go with that one! A very nice selection today!
I completely agree with you on what the Bangles do.
Good collection, my friend. I know a few. They're fascinating, especially Martin Miller and Mark Lettieri. They're very good.
Best regards.
Glad you enjoyed!
Gonna have to give it to Walk Like An Egyptian for this set. That song was everywhere back in the day.. I got tired of hearing it there for a bit. But good to hear it again actually.
