COVER ME - The Best Cover Songs You Don't Know...

What I like best about a cover song is when I don't know it's a cover song. When one artist takes another artist's music, stripes it down, reworks it and injects something of themselves into it. The end result is usually distinctly interesting and a worthy cover song is born. Here are four worthy cover songs you may not know.

 LADY GAGA'S
"JUST DANCE"
covered by
GARY GO feat. MR. DIALYSIS

From danceable pop to
a melancholy piano driven ballad.

"Just Dance" (2008) by Lady Gaga

RIHANNA'S
"DON'T STOP THE MUSIC"covered by

SNOW PATROL

Snow Patrol's pensive down-beat gem is exchanged for a fitting power pop ballad.

 THE PIXIES'S
