A selection of 'relaxing' covers,
this one is a lot slower than the original but works for me

Another very laid back cover of an upbeat Bowie song

Walk on By and Mrs Robinson were the ones that sprang to mind when I saw the thread title. I thoroughly approve of your choices.
I Fought the Law also by The Clash is another good one. As a friend said it was the most un-punk punk song ever.0 -

Joey Ramone's version of What a Wonderful World, awesome. Mind you I also like William Shatner's version of common people that was mentioned earlier, much less cool though.0
