The first is by Feist. She made a splash last year with "1234" (as featured on the i-pod commercial.) "1234" is from her second album "The Reminder." I really love her first album "Let it Die" as well. It contains a cover of "Inside and Out" which is pretty fabulous....
Indie LA pop duo "The Bird and The Bee" covered "How Deep is Your Love" on their EP "Please Clap Your Hands" last year. It is also on the "Sex and the City" soundtrack which comes out today. They do a pretty cool re-working of it.
Here is a very interesting cover of "Stayin Alive" by Italian Rockabilly band "The Hormonauts."
Finally here's another cover of "Stayin' Alive" (along with "I Will Survive") performed by "Young@Heart." They are a senior citizen band in New England who specialize in reinterpreting rock and pop classics. They bring whole new meaning to the tunes. The group is featured in the current documentary hit "Young @ Heart." The film follows the group as they prepare for a one night only appearance in their home town. Along the way they offer their perspectives on life, love, old age, and death. I've been really excited to see this movie and I'm finally going this afternoon. It looks really cute and very touching at the same time.
Since I posted the Sesame Street Fever pic... I thought I should include these...
Have a wonderful day.

I laughed so hard, I almost pee'd myself to "I Will Survive." You'll have to tell me how the movie was. I really want to see it. It looks adorable.
But back on the topic of Bee Gee's covers, I offer Destiny's Child and their rendition of "Emotion." Yes, their not indie like everyone else on the list. But by golly, it was an amazing and beautiful cover.
BTW...going off topic here (again) and jumping to a previeous one, ELI STONE got renewed for a 2nd season. It's not new news, but I knoew you would appreciate it.
