Check out this cover of Fight For Your Right. It´s more of a rework, most of it is in French and there´re flutes and cellos etc.

Listen to From – Fight For Your Right (Beastie Boys cover) below:

The Band From on From:
From is probably the best indie pop band to come from Beverly Hills in the late aughties. We sound like Nico + Kraftwerk on a Magical Mystery Tour, and the site covers the life of an unknown band that loves music, design, advertising, and post meta fun times.

Great execution, but I´m not so sure if turning this song into preteen love angst is such a good idea.

Watch the video for Heartless by The Fray below:

Antony & The Johnsons finally release a video for the cover of Crazy in Love. Beyoncé´s wonderful upbeat party song turns into a tragic and haunting love story.
The video is directed by Joie Iacono with footage of Pink Lady by James Elaine.

What a wonderful cover of an early Michael Jackson song I Wanna be Where You Are by Erykah Badu and The Roots.
