NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts gets all these rave reviews for its production quality

But tbh Triple J’s Like a Version blows it out of the water

Especially giving artists the leeway to try genre switching

Like Denzel Curry covering Rage Against the Machine for instance

Oh yeah, Triple J's Like A Version is incredible. I don't know what they've got in the water there but so many artists put out their best ever work with those covers. Here are some I like:

- Someday (Julia Jacklin cover of The Strokes)

- Love (CHVRCHES cover of Kendrick Lamar)

- Feels Like We Only Go Backwards (Arctic Monkeys cover of Tame Impala)

- Do I Wanna Know (CHVRCHES cover of Arctic Monkeys)

- Believe (DMA's cover of Cher)

And speaking of Australian childrens TV and Like A Version covers, the Wiggles covered Tame Impala's Elephant (bet you didn't expect that one!)

- 'Feel Good Inc (Little Simz covers Gorillaz)

Australian covers go back further in time, of course ...

The Wiggles famously covered AC/DC's It's a Long Way to the Shop (If You Wanna Sausage Roll)

and Rolf Harris infamously covered I Touch Myself originally by the Divinyls

These, and more, prompted by guest appearence's on Andrew Denton's Musical Challenge and collected on a couple of records (today on youtube etc.).
