This version must be close to the original. I know this song was an old traditional folk-song once.
Some Brit pop/rock band named Queen covered this one once, but somehow they couldn't agree on which style to choose. They made it into a sort of mix-match thingy. I don't think they where ever able to make it big in showbiz.

If you like that, howzabout Bluegrass "Dark Side of the Moon"? Heard this on the radio and was impressed.

Yes there is some hilarious Hayseed Dixie stuff about – but what could be weirder than bluegrass covers of hard rockin’ tunes?

Easy. Bossa Nova covers of the cream of late 70s and early 80s punk/new wave.

There is an interesting twist with this band. According to legend, the singers (there is a regular rotation of lead vocalist) cannot know the originals before launching into the covers, but I don’t know if they can prove that this is indeed the case.

Don’t want to spoil the party but I find with all of these things the joke wears pretty thin after 2 or 3 tracks.

This Austrian outfit also put a different slant on Boehemian Rhapsody, well worth a watch, as these guys though singing this, are also pretty tight at playing brass too.

I caught a CBC special a while back about Walter Ostenak, accordian player with 17 grammys to his name. I think the concert he plays at as a yearly event is in the Queensmount Arena in Kitchener, Ontario. Anyway one of the featured events of the evening is that Walter gets up and plays with the headlining rock group. He has done this a number of times and some of the preformances are pretty good. Some are, well interesting. Walter is not a rock player and some of the RnRers can't play a decent polka beat. However it was all done in good fun and everybody: players and audience loved the interesting mix of styles and instruments. DennisD

The cool thing is that you can come up with this kind of stuff quite easily using biab and/or rb. Just plug in chord changes to "Us and Them" or any other unlikely, traditional rock tune you would like, pull up and apply a bluegrass or bossa style, and have some fun with the result.

Absolutely loved it!!! AWESOME stuff! Freddy is probably turning in his grave, but in this case, who really cares. This was really well done by those boys!
