You can have any arrangement put with any cover song these days.

Look at Post Modern Jukebox... they use made modern songs and change them into a jazzy 50's feel.

My band and I perform alot of their versions of songs and it gives an interesting and quirky feel.

Another diferent version is from a band called 'The Once'.

Listen to 'You're My Best Friend' and 'Can't Help Falling In Love'.

I also love performing these songs in their style.

If you would like to have a band like this at your wedding, please email me at info@kristycoote.net and check out my website www.kristycoote.com
