People cover Paul McCartney, Wings, and The Beatles all the time. Honestly, much of the work he\u2019s produced is just fun to cover. However, some of those Paul McCartney covers out there come close to topping the quality of the original, though I doubt anyone can truly do Macca better than Macca. And when it comes to the following four Paul McCartney covers, I bet you\u2019ve never heard them before. Let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n
\u201cBand On The Run\u201d by Foo Fighters<\/p>\n
This is not the kind of band you\u2019d expect Foo Fighters to cover, but they did a killer job with it. They don\u2019t shy away from the bluesy elements, either, making this both a faithful cover of \u201cBand On The Run\u201d and a uniquely Foo Fighters release.<\/p>\n
The original version of \u201cBand On The Run\u201d was released by Paul McCartney and Wings in 1973.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Boy\u201d by Death Cab For Cutie<\/p>\n
An underrated cover of an underrated song from Paul McCartney. Death Cab For Cutie did a great job with the overall instrumentation of this cover, as well as those reverb-y vocals that really do sound just like something Paul McCartney would produce.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Boy\u201d is one of many excellent songs from the 1971 album Ram, featuring both McCartney and his then-wife, Linda McCartney.<\/p>\n
\u201cComing Up\u201d by Ginger Root<\/p>\n
This is an incredibly underrated cover for a musician who deserves a bit more recognition. I came across this YouTube video ages ago by chance, and I was blown away by Ginger Root\u2019s cover of Paul McCartney\u2019s \u201cComing Up\u201d, recorded from inside a car, no less. It\u2019s got a lo-fi vibe that is perfect for this particular song.<\/p>\n
\u201cComing Up\u201d was originally released on the delightfully synthy McCartney II back in 1980.<\/p>\n
\u201cLive And Let Die\u201d by Guns N\u2019 Roses<\/p>\n
