10 Brilliant Cover Versions Of Classic Songs

3. Reuben - Feel Good Inc.

Originally recorded by: Gorillaz

Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz is a fantastic song - it's practically perfect - but this ludicrously good cover by beloved underground rock band Reuben goes to show that sometimes perfection can be improved upon.

By adding some overdriven rock grunt, Reuben manage to make that iconic rolling bass line sound even better. Following it up with that serrated guitar lick adds some extra bite and takes the groove to the next level. Part of the charm here is that the band don’t take things too seriously. Frontman Jamie Lenman is clearly having a great time performing the rapped vocals and replicating the insane belly laughs from the original.

Put this version on and you’re guaranteed to turn heads.
