Leading off a 2015 Maxim magazine article about 20 cover songs that outshined the original version is "Hazy Shade of Winter," a Simon and Garfunkel folk composition that was reimagined as a jangle pop masterpiece by Los Angeles, California Paisley Underground artists The Bangles.
The VMA nominated music video, which shows concert footage interspliced with scenes from the teen drama "Less Than Zero," looks like a 3 minute long commercial for Revlon hairspray and cocaine.
For another Simon and Garfunkel cover, Vandaveer's version of "Homeward Bound" can be found here.
For a cover by The Bangles front woman Susanna Hoffs, her version of Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You" can be found here.
