Pet Shop Boys change the genre of Always on my mind. As do UB40 with their version of Can't help falling in love

The Doors original rock classic - Light My Fire..
José Feliciano's hit single version changed it to a jazzy interpretation.

Bob Dylan's original folk classic - A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall
Bryan Ferry did an idiosyncratic pop cover of this a decade or so later which was featured on his debut solo album..

Yeah, i do hate the "quirky" singers that seem to be in vogue at the moment.

In saying that, her version was good.
