"Oops!...(I Did It Again)" by MonoComb


 Bangkok. Thailand area youngsters MonoComb cover former Mouseketeer Britney Spears' 2000 single "Oops!...(I Did It Again)."

Either the lead vocalist is learning lyrics on the fly, or she's proving her multitasking skills by singing while simultaneously beating level 67 of Candy Crush Saga.

For more Britney covers, Fountains of Wayne's version of "...Baby, One More Time" can be found here, and Big Fat Meanies' version of "Toxic" can be found here.

"Denim and Rhinestones" by Spring Lane

 


Umea, Sweden band Spring Lane cover "Denim and Rhinestones," a 2022 offering from Muskogee, Oklahoma country pop star Carrie Underwood.  

Not sure where the band's namesake thoroughfare is located, but it definitely isn't in Umea.  Streets there have names like:

Skolgatan

Dragongatan

Signalvagen

Storgatan

Repslagargatan

According to the Babbel website, "Spring" in Swedish translates to "Var" or "Varen..." but couldn't find any streets that started or ended in Varen.  Ot Var.

"I Want You" by Cyn Gillet

 


French EDM musician (and kickboxer) Cyn Gillet's upbeat take on Australian duo Savage Garden's 1996 synth pop single "I Want You" is a fantastic piece of work.  Truly.  Madly.  Deeply.

"Dream Weaver" by Crowbar

 


Cresskill, New Jersey soft rocker Gary Wright had his 1975 hit "Dream Weaver" intertwined into a tapestry of ephialtes by New Orleans, Louisianan Cajun sludge metal pioneers Crowbar.

Nightmare inducing as their remake may be, I believe it can get you through the ni-iiiiiiiiiiiight.
