I am not a huge fan of cover versions if they just do a straight copycat act but love it when they change it up like this

That cover by Travis is great! But you gotta check out “Baby Got Back” done by the cast of Glee >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yww4BLjReEk Hilarious!
P.S. No – I do NOT watch Glee, but this song is too good to not share.

There are some really, really great covers out there! Too many are just crap, really rubbish karaoke style ones – i.e. Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Maroon 5. But some are just brand new! 🙂
