Cover Versions - Part 2

Following on from my previous post, I continue my exploration of what's weird and what's wonderful in the world of cover versions. I think there's gold in them thar mountains, despite the last post not getting any comments. I LOVE this stuff, so I guess that's all that matters, right?!

Beneath the cut, covers of Lady Gaga by Faith No More, Japanese Carpenters, French Bowie and much more.

• 18:33 Hmmm, I'm bailing on work now. So, do I go home, dinner, movies or the casino? #

• 22:40 Ended up going to the casino. I've had a desire to play roulette for a while now. Did so and promptly lost 20 quid. Desire now gone. #
