I came across this cover of _Con Te Partiro_ and just wow!

Slightly different than your example, but I like these two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDbAxhV2ofM ---

The girl singing this cover of Heart’s _Barracuda_ was 12 when it was recorded last year. Also the guitarist was 14 and the girl on drums, 17. Hugely impressive all around. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yc2MJ7MQj5Q?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=RDyc2MJ7MQj5Q ---

[These kids](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYKLvYGqaC0) covering Tool’s _Forty Six & 2_ are mind-blowing. A child singing this song, this well, is very disorienting. ---

Originally recorded in 1976–77, they were found and rereleased only 25 years later (in 2001) and became a cult hit and a successful example of outsider music. It was rereleased on vinyl March 9, 2018, by Bar/None Records. > The project was undertaken in 1976–77 by Canadian music teacher Hans Fenger with students from four differen... You’re welcome. ---

That’s the one I came here to post. Those kids were amazing, but the vocalist, especially, nails it. That video was five years old–I’d love to see if she pursued music, and what she’s doing now if she did. Another one I liked is [Greyson Chance’s cover](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0hBsZDi68Q) of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi.” ---

Many years ago a Chicago “underground” station (as underground as a feed from WABC-FM could be) would sometimes play a childrens chorus singing “I Am the Walrus.” Creepy as hell, but I can’t find it. ---

I love Scala’s version of Creep (Radiohead). [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/axrqVfuGHh0/hqdefault.jpg "Scala & Kolacny Brothers - Creep (Radiohead cover)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axrqVfuGHh0) ---

> [@De\_La\_Rue](#): > > Is it [Lol Coxhill’s version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xccLqr4jW7c) of “I am the Walrus”? The time is right, but I remember it being creepier without instruments. Now it’s cute, but I didn’t do cute when I was 16. So probably it. Thanks.
