Scandinavian cover songs
« on: September 25, 2007, 12:05:00 am »
I'm working on a list of Scandinavian bands covering non-Scandinavian bands. Here's what I have so far:
 
 Ace of Base ?? ??Cruel Summer? (Bananarama)
 Marit Bergman ?? ??My Love? (Justin Timberlake)
 Marit Bergman ?? ??Rentcode? (Pet Shop Boys mashup)
 The Cardigans ?? ??Iron Man? (Black Sabbath)
 The Concretes ?? ??Miss You? (Rolling Stones)
 Tobias Froberg ?? ??What Goes Around? (Justin Timberlake)
 Jose Gonzalez ?? ??Love Will Tear Us Apart? (Joy Division)
 HEJ! ?? cover band
 The (International) Noise Conspiracy ?? ??Baby Doll? (N.E.R.D.)
 Nathan Larson and Nina Persson ?? ??Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground? (The White Stripes)
 Lasse Lindh ?? ??Careless Whisper? (Wham!)
 The Mexicos ?? ??What Is Love?? (Haddaway)
 The Mexicos ?? ??Everything I Do? (Bryan Adams)
 The Raveonettes ?? ??Everyday? (Buddy Holly)
 The Raveonettes ?? ??My Boyfriend??s Back? (The Angels)
 Robyn ?? ??Since U Been Gone? (live) (Kelly Clarkson)
 Robyn feat. Jenny Wilson ?? ??List of Demands? (Saul Williams)
 Robyn ?? ??Jack U Off? (Prince)
 West End Girls ?? Pet Shop Boys cover band
 
 I'm sure there's a lot more out there, so please help out of you can.
 
 (I'm also eventually going to start a list of non-Scandinavian bands covering Scandinavian hits, like all of the covers of "Young Folks" out there, but for now I'm just working on Scandinavians covering non-Scandinavians.)
 
 Thanks for your help!

Not sure if he's recorded it, but Jose Gonzalez does a cover of Massive Attack's "Teardrop."

It's on his new album. I came in here to post that, actually.
 And it is indeed pretty fucking awesome.

 Wannadies- Children of the Revolution (T-Rex)
 Wannadies- Lee Remick (Go-Betweens)
 Erlend ?ye -Always on My Mind
 Ralph Myerz and the Jack Herren Band- Your Never Come Closer (Doris)
 Röyksopp- Don't Give Up (The Whitest Boy Alive)
 
 And who can forget Rednex- Cotton Eye Joe

Roadbike Mankie, I found that Crying in the Rain was a song of the Everly Brothers, covered by a-ha, you are right.
 
 I have another covers, but it may be more "rock" than your list :
 
 To/Die/For - In the heat of the night (Sandra)
 Children Of Bodom - The trooper (Iron Maiden)
 Sonata Arctica - I still loving you (Scorpions)
 Apocalyptica playing Metallica, Faith No More, Pantera, Sepultura, Rammstein
 Sinergy - Hanging On The Telephone (Blondie) but it is a finnish band with an US singer
 Nightwish did a lot of covers like : Wild Child (W.A.S.P.), Over the Hills and Far Away (Gary Moore), High Hopes (Pink Floyd),...
