I like now https://mikemasse.com/africa-toto/ HOW “AFRICA” CHANGED EVERYTHING by Mike Massé I never would have predicted that someday the song people would most associate with me would be “Africa” by Toto. Probably 90% of my fans have discovered me because of the YouTube video of my acoustic rendition with Jeff Hall, performed at the Pie Pizzeria in South Jordan, Utah, on August 7, 2010. And to think that it almost didn’t happen, and that I almost didn’t post it at all…. click link for rest of the story.. pretty interesting Idk how many of you know about Weezer, but they did an album of nothing but covers last year. Africa is one of the songs... They covered Aha's Take On Me... Rosanna... They covered Michael Jackson's Billie Jean... Black Sabbath Paranoid... I enjoyed pretty much that entire album by Weezer. It was all started by a young girl twitter trolling them to cover Africa. They put out Rosanna to troll her back, and then a few days later released their Africa cover. All pretty interesting how it came about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I'm a bit of a metal head at times so I've found that I like Marilyn Manson's covers of The Eurythmics, Sweet Dreams Depeche Mode's, Personal Jesus... Gerard McMann's Cry Little Sister from The Lost Boys soundtrack... Soft Cell's, Tainted Love... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 There is actually a lot of amazing covers out there depending on one's style. There are numerous groups doing bluegrass covers of rock songs, rap covers of blue grass songs, symphonic covers of rock songs, etc. This thing could go on forever and ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZone Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 The Foo's cover lots of songs especially these days. They did this one a few years back. Not everyone can pull this cover off, but the Foo's were built for it and nailed it, in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardcore Troubador Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Not a cover in the traditional sense but he does use some songs that aren’t his - Martin Garrix did a “show” on his balcony in Amsterdam recently.

She says he's from Nepal and taught himself English by learning these songs. Throaty, I like it... had to look away... he looks like he's guzzlin' 40s. Hahaha...nice voice.
