Weekend self-care open thread—The art of the cover song

"Top Cover", US Air Force covers band
Before musical artists became Artists, much of a group's output consisted of songs written by other people. And part of this has survived in the cover song.

For this weekend's self-care, it's time to dig into the vault and do a compare and contrast on the art of the cover song.
"Baba O'Reilly", The Who


"Baba O'Reilly", Dropkick Murphys


"What's Going On", Marvin Gaye


"What's Going On", Ohio Players


"Got to Get You Into My Life", The Beatles


"Got To Get You Into My Life", Earth, Wind & Fire

In these times, self-care is more essential than ever. Take the opportunity this weekend to care for yourselves and those around you.
