Back in the day people had to make music without all those synthesizers and amplifiers and electricity. In that spirit, here’s some interesting acoustic covers.

Nina Gordon “Straight Outta Compton” (NWA)
I was googling something else and stumbled across this. She sounds so wholesome as she threatens to bust a cap in your ass.

Travis “Hit Me Baby One More Time” (Britney Spears)
Lots of people pick on poor Britney by covering her songs for laughs, but as you can hear on this song she does have some very talented songwriters working for her. Even if she has no discernable talent of her own.

Bluehouse “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” (Marvin Gaye)
Two white chicks with acoustic guitars singing a Motown classic. Yet somehow it works.

Danny Michel “Young Americans” (David Bowie)
I like this way better than the original. But then I have a thing for slide guitar.

Gina Jeffries “Creep” (Radiohead)
I know the world doesn’t really need another cover of “Creep” or any other Radiohead song for that matter, but this one’s really good. Honest.
