10 Best Cover Songs That Completely Ignored Their Original Genre

8. Ben Folds - B***es Ain't S**t

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-l-c3rTlnE Originally By: Dr. Dre This is nothing short of incredible. Whilst Mindless Self Indulgence are a hardcore group who aren't afraid to tackle controversial lyrics, Ben Folds is anything but. Folds is known for his smooth voice, endearing piano melodies and soft demeanour, this makes his cover of a gangsta rap anthem all the more shocking. With lyrics left unchanged, Folds makes his way through extreme examples of misogyny, threats of violence towards the late, great Eazy E and he even imitates Snoop Dogg's flow, which is a sight to behold. Just take any Ben Folds song you know and try and match the lyrics to this with the melody, it's pretty much exactly how the final product turned out. Laughter guaranteed.
