'Cry Little Sister' - A Widely Covered Banger!

Is "Cry Little Sister" the most covered rock song of all time or what?

I was listening to an excellent Halloween-themed Metal show on the Sirius XM app and the Season's After cover of "Cry Little Sister" was included in the show. And holy cow I forgot how much I loved their version of the track. The song is from The Lost Boys soundtrack and originally recorded by Gerard McMahon.

I remember getting the Seasons After debut album Through Tomorrow when it came out in 2008. After Sirius played the track I immediately added it to my running playlist. For those curious, the band doesn't exist anymore.



Lyric Noel - this is a new artist I discovered while looking up clips of "Cry Little Sister." Her cover version came out just a couple weeks ago.



Marilyn Manson covered the song too... It really is a goth staple.



Vampires Everywhere! gave in and did a cover of "Cry Little Sister," too:



You know who else covered the track? Our beloved L.A. Guns!


 


And of course... the original:
