Line 80:
* Hillary Duff's cover of [[The Who|The Who's]] "My Generation" actually ''does'' seem to have a theme similar to the original: "older people don't get it." But one word addition brought the whole thing crashing down: "Hope I ''don't'' die before I get old."
* "Fashion Party" by Ace of Base: disdainful decadence. "Fashion Party" by Beatdrop: nightmarish inquisition.
* Angélique Kidjo covered the Rolling Stones song "Gimme Shelter," adding in African choral vocals and changing the instrumentation to change a song about the [[EndoftheThe End of the World Asas We Know It|the apocalypse]] and Vietnam into a [[Lyrical Dissonance]] filled song about the situation in some parts of Africa.
* [[Reel Big Fish]] takes the Duran Duran song "Hungry Like The Wolf" and turns it from an [[Intercourse with You]] song into a surprisingly Stalkerish Ska song through the magic of [[Lyrical Dissonance]], a jazzy scat section, and a crazy [[Motor Mouth]] section of singing. The whole effect makes it seem like a happy murderous Schizophrenic wants to eat you.
** On the same album [[Jimmy Eat World]] turns the song "New Religion", originally a hyperactive rant about information overload, into a somber reflection on belief.
