- imightbewrong, on 01/19/2008, -1/+40Ben Fold's cover of Bitches ain't *****?
- DoubleyouTeeEff, on 01/19/2008, -2/+30Dynamite Hack - Boyz in da Hood
Best by far. - ath1337, on 01/19/2008, -2/+28"hey ya" sounds pretty good!
- travisMarc, on 01/19/2008, -3/+16http://youtube.com/watch?v=2_N3CK-6CHk&feature=rel ...
best cover of rap song by far (by ben folds) - thejokell, on 01/19/2008, -1/+8I don't know who Fish is, but Phish never covered Gin and Juice. The mp3 that you downloaded from Kazaa is actually by the Gourds, off their album Gogetyershinebox. And it's the 5th video down on the linked page.
- triblinator, on 01/19/2008, -0/+7I know there is always a jerk who makes some sort of technicality in the title of a story... but... I am that jerk. This is acoustic, not folk. Just because someone doesn't plug into wall doesn't make their music folk. Idk what I had to say it, but whatever. = ).
- Ghoztt, on 01/19/2008, -1/+8THIS IS ALL WRONG. These are all just rap & hip-hop covers of Bob Dylan FOLK songs.

When will you people learn!?!? - jquipp, on 01/19/2008, -0/+6Great cover of 'Bust a Move'..by Jerry Chapman & His Acoustic Herbivores!
- imightbewrong, on 01/19/2008, -0/+6i never realized the lyrics were so interesting, great stuff
- rossiohead, on 01/19/2008, -1/+7Alanis FTW!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=W91sqAs-_-g - LemonDefragger, on 01/19/2008, -0/+5GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEETTT
- theenginedriver, on 01/19/2008, -0/+5His band, Obadiah Parker, also does an awesome version of Idioteque: http://youtube.com/watch?v=El3ivyKx2oo
Yes, they're playing outside a Quizno's. No, I don't know why. - clarionhaze, on 01/19/2008, -1/+6The Gourds "gin and juice" cover is a long time favorite of mine but Weddle's cover of "Hey Ya" is also awesome.
- DatumPirate, on 01/19/2008, -0/+4http://youtube.com/watch?v=SE4yw0lgvbE
Totally awesome cover, I was expecting someone to have posted something like this already! - migbike, on 01/19/2008, -0/+4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIYKPjalb6Q
Hot in Herre by Jenny Owen Youngs could have easily been on there also. - Butros, on 01/19/2008, -0/+3Agreed, extra points for doing it before it was cool...
- dizilbdog, on 01/19/2008, -0/+3That's a real good one.. Shame it wasn't on the list...
- Icerazer, on 01/19/2008, -0/+3I expected it to be #1.
A damn shame. - r00tus3r, on 01/19/2008, -1/+4What, no mention of the 'Sorry Ms Jackson' cover by The Vines? !!! oh COME ON!
- protogenxl, on 01/19/2008, -1/+4http://youtube.com/watch?v=TjNNxnKVEpQ
DeCadence (an A Cappella group at UC Berkeley) sings Ben Folds version of Bitches Ain't *****. - supermanred, on 01/19/2008, -0/+3The snoop dogg cover was fun, too. Though, some were making fun of hip hop, but the snoop cover was great.
- T8erT0T, on 01/19/2008, -4/+7Bitches Ain't ***** by Ben Folds a must.
And http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMlPVpXtkJY Boyz In The Hood by Dynamite Hack - darkphan, on 01/19/2008, -0/+3The title of this post should not be Top 5... it should just simply be 5 Folky Covers to Rap Hip-Hop Songs (W Videos)
- inactive, on 01/19/2008, -0/+2Just downloaded the mp3 version! Great song.
- DoubleyouTeeEff, on 01/19/2008, -0/+2Well played.
- supermanred, on 01/19/2008, -1/+3Just bought Hey Ya by Obadiah Parker off iTunes... great cover, he deserves the 50 cents or whatever he gets from the 99 cents.
Gonna look for a few more of the others there too.
Also check out "Bitches Ain't *****" by Ben Fold Five, funny cover. - freakydingo, on 01/19/2008, -0/+2Yeah as I clicked I thought this was going to be ridiculous but he actually performed that song in an amazing way.
- TheChunt, on 01/19/2008, -0/+2Awww where is the love!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYeWXItf7LQ - irnoobLOL, on 01/19/2008, -0/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebd7ONuE-PA
Usher - Yeah cover with a loop pedal ftw - dumpyhumpy, on 01/19/2008, -0/+2you did both?
- steveboutin, on 01/19/2008, -0/+2i think this is kind of like eating your own head. but i'll have to wiki it to be sure.
- cryonix, on 01/19/2008, -0/+2Unrelated: is it just me or is the embedded YouTube players really slow and buggy lately? sudden spike in cpu usage from firefox once I hit that page (or any page with more than one youtube player)
- matito10, on 01/19/2008, -0/+2Another pretty good list with mp3s - http://www.hearya.com/2007/05/25/top-10-indie-cove ...
- jfg84, on 01/19/2008, -2/+4Gin N' Juice is by Phish!
Just kidding. - steveboutin, on 01/19/2008, -0/+2lounge against the machine FTW.
- chopcow, on 01/19/2008, -0/+2A lot of times, the performers look like the are doing it as a comedy skit, rather than taking it seriously.
"Hey Ya" was the best, IMO. - hfxadv, on 01/19/2008, -0/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSIB7D_A9TQ
- rawg, on 01/19/2008, -0/+2The Nina Gordon version of "Straight Out of Compton" is much better than the one in this list. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otL6FvpALQg
Folk the Police! - fuzzynyanko, on 01/19/2008, -0/+1"Hey ya" surpassed my expectations of the article by miles. I was blown away at how good he sounds.
- tuxracer, on 01/19/2008, -0/+1http://youtube.com/watch?v=JtL12tiap20
- brian1127, on 01/19/2008, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1FQ-4Zf7J8 -- soulja boy cover
- anderaaron, on 01/19/2008, -0/+1So Dug for "Hey Ya" - wow that was f-ing cool! I didn't know how he was going to pull off the end, but he did!
- fliped, on 01/19/2008, -0/+1The Umbrella by Rihanna cover by Mandy Moore is also a good one. She makes the song sound so much more meaningful.
- Landeyda, on 01/19/2008, -0/+1A shame you're being dugg down by people who don't get the joke.
- supermanred, on 01/19/2008, -0/+1cross reference that on myspace. Kenny, punch up the facebook and Kyle, you check the blogosphere. We're running out of time, Damnit!!!
- Lysogen, on 01/19/2008, -0/+1Dugg for L.A. face with the Oakland booty.
- mongrel, on 01/19/2008, -0/+1lawlz awesome
- MixMastaKooz, on 01/19/2008, -2/+3Why? why? Wa...why? Why? Be more constructive with your feed back!? Why?
- rossiohead, on 01/19/2008, -0/+1http://youtube.com/watch?v=oKaFn16Nzpg
Link to the afore-mentioned, to save on the effort of searching. :) - offwithyourtv, on 01/19/2008, -0/+1I'm surprised people on digg don't realize how much Jonathan Coulton rocks. He played that cover at Penny Arcade Expo last year, among his other (much better) self-written songs that are made of win and awesome. He made a lot of new fans when he played at PAX.
