Do you guys have examples of very good (maybe even better than the original) or very bad cover versions of songs?

The barbershop quartet Vocal Spectrum performs an outstanding version of the Beach Boys hit "Good Vibrations". Sure, it's an acapella performance (it's barbershop harmony, of course), but just as enjoyable as the Beach Boys version with instruments.
The Vocal Spectrum quartet won the international barbershop quartet contest held in Indianapolis in 2006. Vocal Spectrum Website |
