Dolly Parton covers Stairway to Heaven, live at Dollywood: That goddess could rock! She really gets cooking around 4:50. May her light continue to shine.

Julia Jacklin covered I Will Always Love You in honour of Dolly Parton: UPDATE: video linked!!!

At Derrick Gee's Radio Hour show in Naarm / Melbourne tonight, Julia Jacklin was a special guest & as well as playing two originals she also did the most magical rendition of I Will Always Love You.

Jonathan Coulton's cover of Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back" (2009): From his outstanding Best. Concert. Ever. live album, with Paul & Storm on backing vocals (there's also a studio version, but the live version is the funniest to me).

So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings - Squirrel Flower: I’m way too indecisive to officially declare this my favorite cover, but I really love this cover. The original is great, but for some reason I think that the cover speaks to me even more?? I don’t know I go back-and-forth about it. They are very different. This one is more… Emo maybe? In case you were wondering Squirrel Flower is also great live.
