Today we're going to look at two covers of songs in which the style of the original song has been completely reinterpreted, with the original music videos in the background.
First up, we've got Nina Gordon covering NWA's 'Straight Outta Compton', taking a song first sung by a bunch of fired-up black rappers from Los Angeles and letting a blonde, Jewish girl from the Midwest turn it into a sweet ode about popping caps in people's asses. I've loved this cover since I first heard it.
Next, we've got Richard Cheese covering System of a Down's 'Chop Suey!', in which the hard rock from the Armenian-American band is given a lounge-style spin. Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine specialise in covering songs from acts as diverse as Nirvana through to Snoop Dogg, all of course in the lounge style.
