Day 16: A cover song that’s by the opposite gender of the original artist

Well, I was going to go with a recent reimagining of the classic "Baby's Got Back" by a wonderful up-and-coming star...

I have no idea why I love this cover, but I do. The "Punk Goes..." series is a fucking goldmine.

"This is the remix..."

"'Til the World Ends," I See Stars (Originally by Britney Spears)

Such a hard prompt, because I have so many favorites.

This one always makes me smile, though.

Any treason-minded folks know what to do.

This whole movie (Across The Universe) is full of great Beatles covers. I’ve posted one or two others before.

I could have picked Ciara's cover (it's fantastic) but this one is nostalgic for me so it won out.

Day 16: A cover song that’s by the opposite gender of the original artist

Back in 2001, Joey Ramone passed away from cancer. In 2002, we lost Dee Dee to an overdose. And in 2004, Johnny passed due to cancer as well. A terrible end to a tragic band. They'd struggled for decades, trying to become mainstream popular, trying to make money, trying and failing to even get along with each other.

Johnny was a dick. He was something of a genius, but he was a dick. While Joey was dying he started planning a tribute album to the Ramones. But instead of consulting the rest of the band, he went with Rob Zombie for production.

The name of the album was taken from their 1977 hit, much more aptly named 25 years prior;
We're a happy family.
Released in 2003 just after Joey and Dee Dee passed. Without ever giving their blessings.

A happy family? No, Johnny, you really weren't.
But god damn it, it's one banger of an album.

I adore this song, especially the extended "where did our love go?" version.

It's a cover of Gloria Jones' 1964 version which is just as outstanding IMO

Tainted Love - Soft Cell

Dana Fuchs - Helter Skelter

I love Dana Fuchs. Saw her live at a blues festival, and she tore it up. There are some videos of her singing with Mike Zito and the Wheel that are just brilliant.

I prefer the cover/remix by Kon Kan

Gloria Gaynor made the song "I Will Survive" famous. This version...not so much

Children of Bodom "Ops, I Did it Again"

Yes, they sample her tag line, but they really had no shame about this one
