From a piano heavy cover, we move to this acoustic-guitar driven take from the goth/punk band Human Drama. Rich instrumentation takes over the second-half of this cover. Something strange happens around the 5:00 mark – does the tape slow down? Is this on purpose? Probably. Source: Pinups

Sounds like a drum-machine that kicks in at the 1-minute mark and drives a different feel than the other covers and the original. Source: The Fox Lies Down: A Tribute To Genesis

Something about the electric guitar tone and phrasing really reminds me of Band On The Run (before the shredding at the 4:30 mark that is). Source: Supper’s Ready

The e-drum beat reminds me of something, but I can’t place it. And man this guy pronounces the word “carpet” strangely. Source: Not Of One Kind

The drum beat in the Mike Shoe track? Think of “Stepping Out” by Joe Jackson…
