Never listened to Fleetwood Mac but I’ve been listening to Scary Pockets (a Youtubey funk band that does covers of popular non-funk songs) lately and this cover version has been stuck in my head all day long.

Wonderwall - Oasis - FUNK cover feat. Darren Criss!
Okay. This seriously makes me pissed that we haven’t gotten an album yet.
Darren, I’m sorry. But your outfit is a hot mess.
I think the keyboard player had an orgasm.

SCARY POCKETS feat. MONICA MARTIN - KARMA POLICE
The Band Scary Pockets performing a soulful iteration of Radiohead’s 1993 anti-anthem, “Creep” (On Youtube at https://youtu.be/tcNuPheBQgU)
Well that was incredible. The singer was just pouring out a heart rending, soulful rendition of Creep that would make your chest shudder. Her possessed driven voice was looking to smash right out of that room, like a gail force from massive unseen pipes. She could turn from whisper to soaring then back.
Meanwhile, the backing band played a giddily infectious and genial vamp, like it just went right over their heads that Creep is a devastatingly sorrowful song–not melancholy, but acute anguish, bereaved loss as a freely gushing wound that doesn’t heal.But no, they carried entire duration of the song–like it was jauntily amiable, laid back and with the purest kind of no-fucks-to-give, bounce in its gait. For me, it recalled the sensation and storied feel of Herbie Hancock’s Fat Albert Rotunda, or the lope along good natured Linus and Lucy theme from countless Peanuts animated specials–which only added to the thick warm mallow feeling it stirred in me.
Her voice railed with loneliness and loss. It’s sonorous dolor filled the air enveloping the rhythm section, but instead of leaching the vitality out of them, it was like they just absorbed her energy for juice. It cranked the mood coming off them from dopey laissez-faire to jubilation, the loping feel of the rhythm’s stride shifted subtly, rising in mood to a march. Then up from march to a joyous victory dance without changing any tempo, dynamic, or orchestration, just like they appropriated the agony energy of her song and transformed it into an aural ecstasy more suited to a dervish.
