Please share your favorite music covers, it can be from video games, movies or music from one genre covered in another genre. Serious well performed ones or funny, crazy ones it doesn't matter, I'd like to see what you guys have found. 

*Searched the forum for a thread dedicated to music covers, but I didn't find any, if there's one I apologize.*

 

I'm going to start with a few of my favorites.

 

Castle Theme Super Mario World Guitar Cover

Super Mario World Castle Theme - Orchestral

 

Super Mario Bros DJENT(Ignore the annoying faces he make...)

 

Super Mario Castle Theme Death Metal

 

I'm a guitar lover and a metal head, that's why I like these type of covers. But I'm open to a lot of other genres too.

Anything by Hanz Zimmer (from the movie Inception)

 

Not sure it's a cover, but nonetheless still rather amazing

 

Hans Zimmer is a legend, period

 

Also thanks for sharing that Ewan video, it's like a trance song played solely on guitar? It sounds out of this world!

Do covers in TV shows count?

I much prefer Jonny Cash's cover of the song than the original.

Ha cha cha cha.

 

Eh, this is what happens when you grow up around a musician, old cartoons, old people, and with Internet.
