Somebody That I Used to Know was everywhere on the radio when it came out in 2011. Since then, it has been covered countless times, particularly by a cappella groups.

It became instantly popular, featured on commercials and television shows and covered on America’s Got Talent. The track was eventually certified double platinum. It also led to extensive covers online, many of which were purely vocal tracks.
The powerful chorus in Sia’s 2014 song Chandelierisn’t the only appeal when it comes to making a cover. A cappella groups will recognize the layered background vocals and instrumentals, all of which perfectly lend themselves to a group vocal cover. The song is so much more than the chorus, and those beautiful harmonies really come out through a voi...
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Womanis inarguably one of Aretha Franklin’s most famous songs of her career. It has been covered countless times since it was first released in 1968, though you have to be ambitious to follow in the footsteps of the Queen of Soul.

Back in 2015, Hellowas on the radio so much that we couldn’t stand to listen to it anymore. But even after its star popularity faded, it was still an often-chosen tune for covers of all kinds, from a cappella adaptations to instrumental versions.

Talk about a song that is good no matter how many times you’ve heard it. James Taylor wrote Fire & Rainafter hearing that a dear childhood friend had passed away and his family had kept the news from him for several months. It makes that final chorus line twice as heartbreaking: “I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, But I always t...
Audrey Hepburn performing Moon River in Breakfast at Tiffany’s is undoubtedly one of the most hypnotizing moments of the film. The director considered removing the scene, but Hepburn herself insisted that it be kept. It’s a good thing she did, as the song won an Academy Award for Best Original Song as well as two Grammy Awards. It has become a popu...
Is there anyone alive who doesn’t know this song? The infectiously upbeat chorus is almost too fun to resist, and you’re bound to get everyone in a good mood when you begin.
