Ben Lee covered the entire Against Me! album *New Wave* and made it a free download on Bandcamp. [Ben Lee Sings Against Me! New Wave ](https://benlee.bandcamp.com/album/ben-lee-sings-against-me-new-wave)
AKA That song from The Muppet Show
copying a comment from youtube: >This song was sampled from a song called It's a Fine Day by OPUS III. The song does have connections to the Kleenex Commercial from even earlier, but the source for that is another song called It's a Fine Day by Jane. Jane made the song, Kleenex uses it in a commercial, Opus III samples it or re-sings the lyrics with their own track, and then Goreshit samples Opus III's song by speeding it up and laying breaks over it. It clearly wasnt sampled from the kleenex ad, but whether or not Opus III's verison is sampled or a new recording is the real question.

In this corner of the internet, we're all about celebrating creativity in music. Whether you're unearthing hidden gems of covers from the depths of the web or strutting your stuff with your own vocal or instrumental renditions, this is your stage. Here, a Beatles classic might turn into a jazz ensemble, or a Taylor Swift hit could get a rock 'n' roll twist – as long as it's not just tweaking the original track, it's fair game!
Think of CoverVerse as your go-to playlist for the never-heard-that-way-before versions of songs. But it's more than just a playlist; it's a community. Share your finds, applaud the creativity of fellow members, and maybe even collaborate to create the next cover that makes everyone go, "Wow, I never thought of it that way!"
