Songs you've had to notewatch multiple different covers of (1,212 views)

[Henny Macc]

What songs have you noticed coming up repeatedly in the range threads you've made? I've noticed certain songs getting covered by several of the singers I've notewatched, and thought it might be interesting to make a thread to archive instances of that. Note, however, that this doesn't apply to cases like notewatching singers who replaced someone in a band and then sang songs from that singer's era - this is strictly cover versions of songs by other artists entirely.

Here are some of mine:

This happened to me recently where two unrelated Japanese vocalists I was making threads for covered a song called "Marunouchi Sadistic" by Unchained, but it's happened once or twice before too.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Unchained - Marunouchi Sadistic}Mao's version is interesting because it's in a lower key but he improvises up to a blue F♯5, while KØU's interpretation tops at E♭5. I like both tbh but I personally prefer Mao's jazz band version.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Elvis Presley - Love Me Tender}Rick Astley covered this song as part of a "live karaoke" session on radio ffn and one of my Japanese vocalists Toshiyuki Morikawa covered this song for some anime he was in. One of the more unlikely crossovers I've seen.

[IhateMana]

I've done 5 or 6 different versions of "Strange Fruit" and "Gloomy Sunday"

['S]

Lost count of them classik Trot song covers and Arirang variations at this point. But 'tis all good. Maybe a dozen times for certain songs.

[mikale]

i have like two or three singers who have "Under Pressure" for their top note

[kaji]

Might take a while to complete this LOL. Some are from threads I haven't posted yet. Gonna be adding as I go by. I'll add more later.
