    I never thought I could actually love the song "Pony" by Ginuwine until I heard Ed Sheeran sing it.

    Like, if some dude played the Ginuwine version hoping to get me in the mood I would laugh in his face,
    But if he played the Ed Sheeran version I'd be like, why yes I DO think I'd like to see your new sheets.

    Original: Rihanna
    Cover: Boyce Avenue (youtube)

    FAR prefer Boyce Avenue's cover of almost anything they do..so awesome!
    Boyce Avenue is great. Really great. Their version of "Faithfully" is going to be our first dance/

    I hate the *****cat Dolls but there is a pretty awesome cover of "When I Grow Up" by a pop punk band called Mayday Parade. Seriously... it's a good'un.

    I know SRV did a cover of "Voodoo Child." Both good and I give the nod to Hendrix...because he is Hendrix.

    Thanks to everyone who played in the thread. I learned a lot and will be adding some great songs to the iTunes account this weekend.
