SLEEPER

This might be the one of the most cov­ered + sam­pled songs of all time,

Orig­i­nally writ­ten in 1965 for a musi­cal, the list of artists that made it their own is ridiculous:

Nina Simone, Mary J. Blige, will.i.am, 50 Cent, Sammy Davis Jr., Eels, Michael Bublé, The Pussy­cat Dolls, My Bright­est Dia­mond, George Michael, Joe Bona­massa, John Bar­row­man, Adam Lam­bert, John Coltrane, Noured­dineAzhar, Muse, Calle Stuborn, Aṣa + the almighty David Has­sel­hoff

Muse — Feelin’ Good (128 mp3)
My Bright­est Dia­mond — Feelin’ Good (320 mp3) via medi­ashare

by far my favorite ren­di­tion, My Bright­est Dia­mond (mp3):

Extremely pop­u­lar ver­sion by Muse. This ren­di­tion was in the movie Seven Pounds + placed 5^th on Total Guitar’s “best cov­ers ever,” poll. (mp3)
