"As It Was" by Arcade Fire

 

Montreal, Canada music critics' favorite....er.....favoUrite art rock band Arcade Fire show how they earned their reputation on this studio session cover of "As It Was," the catchy 2022 synth driven pop single from One Direction defector Harry Styles.

For a cover of Arcade Fire, Ladies' version of "Tunnels (Neighborhood #1)" can be found here.

For a cover of One Direction, Cimorelli's version of "What Makes You Beautiful" can be found here.

And, for another cover of Harry Styles, Bard to the Core's version of "Watermelon Sugar" can be found here.

"Watermelon Sugar" by Bard to the Core

The side project of Finnish hobbyist composer Matti Paalanen is Bard to the Core, a tavernwave nod to popular songs redone in a Medieval style.

Here's his version of "Watermelon Sugar," the 2019 Harry Styles hit that is sure to drive all of the ladies at the Renaissance Faire into fits of near climactic euphoria.

"What Makes You Beautiful" by Cimorelli

Cimorelli are a Sacramento, California area band of sisters that formed in 2007, presumably to try and help their father pay for impending weddings. Six sisters. I couldn't even imagine how many internal organs I'd have to sell on the black market to finance six weddings.

Here is a cover of One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful." At least, I'm pretty sure it's a cover. Cimorelli sister #3 looks and sounds suspiciously like Harry Styles.
