I found this version of Umbrella by McFly on YouTube

YouTube - McFLY - Umbrella - Studio Version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu0LJ1WbpL8)

What do you people think?

I don't really like the pop-remakes, but the pop-to-rock ones are generally pretty cool. This one isn't bad. The lyrics isn't the most appropriate for most guys though.

I generally don't mind covers except for "dance" versions of rock/metal songs. It totally rapes kills them.

I like Aiden's cover of White Wedding.
Very well done IMO.

I like the McFly version better than the original. And that's saying a lot since I smurfing hate McFly. :mad2:

I'm also possibly the only person who prefers the Pet Shop Boys version of You Were Always On My Mind.

I really like Killswitch Engage's cover of Dio's "Holy Diver". Hell, KsE's video to the song is a parody the original video to the same song. I'm telling you, if anyone would parody the original video to a song they covered, it's Killswitch Engage. I'll bet you their guitarist, Adam Dutkiewicz, talked the band into that; he's the clown of that band. I know this because I actually met him after a show.

I'm down with covers. I'm especially fond of my husband's band's cover of "Rainbow in the Dark."

I like Bowling for Soup's cover of 1985 by SR-71, it actually improved the song.

I hate Ashley Tisdale's version of Kiss the Girl. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f2BueCLADQ" target="_blank">The video</a> to it is on the Platinum Edition DVD release of The Little Mermaid. =(

Bowling For Soup's cover of London Bridge by Fergie was awsome
Aidens cover of Drain You is also good

I don't like the song but McFly did a better job than Rhianna. I don't like McFly either, though.

I love Rihanna's version of Umbrella. (Oh wait, it's her song! xP) But there have been some good covers of it, like this one by...Oh my gosh, I forgot his name, but I really liked his version if it! xD

Also, which video is better? I can't decide...

YouTube - Rhianna Ft Jay-Z - Umbrella (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftVCe8pnNfA)

YouTube - Vanilla Sky - Umbrella (Rihanna Cover) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvC6VS4Np4U)

Was the original by Cutting Crew? And if so, who remade it?
