What is your favourite cover song?
It's a tie between Depeche Mode's version of "Route 66" and the Soft Cell cover of "Tainted Love". Since I posted Soft Cell previously, I'll post this one!

This song has been consistently in my head the past few days. Therefore I must share the #earworm to get it out of my head.

Post one of your favorite sad songs.
My mom died about four months ago. She had Parkinson’s and dementia. My stepfather was by her side every minute. The last time I saw her alive she was in a memory care facility and bedridden. He was sitting with her playing this song and it will forever be a sad song for me.

A song by a band that you haven't yet posted anything by
Wow, it’s been a minute since I posted a track. This is an easy one to do because I haven’t posted many yet. Siouxsie and the Banshees opened me up to a whole bunch of new music.

Well, dumping yesterday's earworm worked to get it out of my head. Let's see if sharing today's earworm works ...

Sharing this song because they say that's the best way to get rid of an ear worm. This song has been in my head for two days now!
Take a Chance On Me
Erasure
Post a cover that's done in a different style than the original version.
So many to choose from. I already posted “Tainted Love” by Soft Cell. So I choose an Erasure version of an Abba song.

Share a track that has one of your favorite vocal performances of all-time.
OK wow, I don't mean this to turn into a Depeche Mode heavy thread but I guess it is what it is. One of my favorite vocals of all time is Martin Gore when he sings solo. He has such a soft, warm, but haunting voice. He has a couple solo tracks outside Depeche Mode that are great too ... but I had to pick this because it was the first one that came to mind for this prompt.
