Here's one of the most unpredictable covers I've heard in a long time. Orchestral rockers Pale Young Gentlemen tackle M.I.A.'s ubiquitous smash "Paper Planes". On paper this sort of rendition shouldn't work, but on record it totally does. I just love the crooning vocals, plucky string accompaniment and faux gun shot drumbeats. You will too!
Paper Planes (M.I.A. Cover) - Pale Young Gentlemen
It's just one of many superb covers you'll find on Cokemachineglow's annual Fantasy cover podcast

This song makes me feel cooler for listening to it. Much like Cake did in the 90s. I define myself by what I listen to and can afford my rock and roll lifestyle!
