Okay, list a song in music, covered in a different genre, but still rocks.........

Yeah, right? I know some folks who know him a little. He sells out all over the country.
I have been wondering for weeks how to dump Puddles into the BWI mix, and then i see the perfect thread.
I will refrain from frat comments on this one.
Thats pretty good one on maybe one of the most underrated songs of all time. I would like to see the Chilli's cover this. Flea would bring the bassline to life IMHO
A very clever album by Umphrey's McGee where they mashup several songs at once for some interesting jams. The album is called Zonkey.
One last dip into the Puddles Pity Party. Remember, every song he does is done in a different genre, because he is the only source for 6'8" sad clown music.
Ladies and Gentlemen : The Sad Clown With The Golden Voice!

You could also argue that Sarajevo 1994 rocks Carol of the Bells in a different genre.
Not sure if this qualifies because the original definitely doesn't rock.
Found by Warren Haynes and they only do bluegrass cover versions: Love Cannon. A hoot to see live too.

Not totally different but still one of my favorites
Van Halen cover of you really got me is the best cover ever. Add in eruption and oh my!!!!!
Charlie Hunter covered the entire Natty Dread album.
If you aren't familiar, Charlie plays a hybrid bass and electric guitar. He plays bass lines while picking solos or chords.

This is solid but the original 'white guy does gangsta rap' schtick is better....Ben Folds, 'Bitches Ain't Sh*t'...

I liked it, but the lyrics probably require a NSFW in the event someone decides to play your clip over during their Friday morning coffee break
Train covering Ramble On (Led Zeppelin)
Ram Jam covering Black Betty (Leadbelly)
The Kingsmen covering Louie Louie (Richard Berry)

Another one introduced by Dick Clark on the Saturday Night Beech Nut show. Originally a 1930s movie tune. A lot of 1950s rock n roll hits, especially the ballads, were remakes of old standards.
I am pleased that everyone is including "Clips" in their responses.
There's nothing more annoying than clicking on a response without "almost instant gratification".
Keep up the great work. There is some great music included in this thread.

Originally a minuet from the 1700s.
Also noticed at the end of the video, they were actually singing, not just lip synching to a pre-recorded track.

Zac Brown Band covers the Beatles. No matter what you think about these guys, this is great.

I like those guys and their music really isn't in my wheelhouse. Hard song to f up though for sure...
This is humorous but I think its well done:
The Dan Band covering Candy Shop (50 Cent)

These guys seem a bit odd but, Alien Ant Farm's version of Smooth Criminal (Michael Jackson) isn't bad:
EDIT: Sorry Midnighter ... didn't see you throw this one out earlier. Great minds!

I really enjoyed that one. His voice is so similar to Art's......not this board's "Art", but rather Art Garfunkel.

This is a classic case where a cover song really brings out something completely different in the lyrics/spirit of the original. Here's the Tears for Fears original....(which is similar, until the chorus...):
