Things are weird and will get weirder.

This morning, while driving to work, I heard a familiar tune on the radio. It was Running up that hill, a fabulous song by dame Kate Bush.

Yet, it sounded weird. Out of sync.

It was this.


Within Temptation

Now I am going down the rabbit hole and not up the hill.

Here's another cover, this one by the original singer herself.


Kate Bush & David Gilmour

Not weird enough? Ignoring the sound and video's aspect ratio ...

Moving up again on the weirdness scale.


Placebo

The Beauty and the Beast comes to mind while watching Placebo's performance. You can skip to 3:20.

Another step up.


Placebo again

I have to end somewhere, haven't I?


Meg Myers

? Sorry, I don't know her.

No, I won't end it here. This version in not weird, just bleak.

Moving on ...


First Aid Kit

Is this country?

Another step up.


Ellevator

Progressive pop? They are weird in my book. At least they look so.

I can't stop now. Higher.


Trionale

This one is actually good. And mildly weird.

The last one, I promise you.


Mozartine

Yes, it's a stage full of girls. A choir. I feel so churchy. You might disagree with me but they win!

My Croatian friends, please don't be mad at me :)


Nine versions of the same song, all different. Enough for one article?

Which one is your favourite? And the weirdest in your honest opinion?

Ps: I intentionally skipped various Voice competitions.


For those frontends who can't show youtube thumbnails ...


Better and better
