Tegan And Sara, Amanda Palmer Cover Rihanna
Really, we should be keeping a running list of all the "Umbrella" covers for posterity, 'cause clearly it's this year's "Crazy." We've already pointed the way to Mandy Moore's acoustic take but never pointed out My Chem's Gerard having his way with it. And who could forget the star treatment afforded to music's very own LonelyGirl, Marié Digby after her doe-eyed YouTube clip. But those are just novelty picks -- if you're looking for a little adventure in your pop-smash covers, give this electric rearrangement by the sisters Quinn a try.
No? More in the mood for, say, mandolin? Try the Dresden Dolls' Amanda Palmer live from The Fringe this August. That crowd sure knows how to sing it's "ella"s and "ay"s, aye? (Thanks, Andrew)
Any others out there we should know about? After past it-song covers "Walking With The Ghost" and "Crazy," figured Jack White would've busted one out by now.

I'm only a few seconds in, but this sounds horribly out of tune to me.

Italian pop-punk band Vanilla Sky went so far as to shoot a video for their cover:

I'm confused...
is it ironic because they're doing a cover rihanna, or ironic because they're doing ANOTHER cover of rihanna?

They are the best!
It starts off out of tune but they pick it back up. I cant wait to see them November 3rd
Score = 0
I LOVE YOU TEGAN AND SARA!!! and the only reason it might sound bad is because it's being filmed with a mini dv or a camera phone
Score = 0
The author should write "Quin" instead of "Quinn".
But I love love love their cover. It's so much better than the Original and the one Mandy Moore did.
