It’s the nature of the beast that most of the cover versions that appear on this blog were obscure singles, b-sides or album tracks that weren’t made with accompanying videos.

Machine music sans machines, I love it…
2. I Feel Love by Blue Man Group with Venus Hum
The guys painted blue I can take or leave, for me it’s all about that amazing dress…
