11. The Noisettes - When You Were Young (Originally by The Killers)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAnznys7yYc The Killers track gets taken back to basics with nothing but acoustic guitar and some atmospheric strings, letting vocalist Shinghai showcase her vocals. This version really showcases the gospel style lyrics, with lyrics like He doesnt look a thing like Jesus being changed to I dont look like a thing like she does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff0oWESdmH0
10. Hurts - Once (Originally by Diana Vickers)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSuGbEGeYYE Once was a perky little quirky pop song by the X-factor graduate Vickers until dark duo Hurts gave it a Depeche Mode twist. A song which chorus states Im only going to let you kill me once was destined to have an almost Ramnstein sounding vibe. The atmospheric strings and dramatic vocals make this a huge improvement on the bouncy original. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpkxgDpCyAc
