These covers were played this month in the concerts made by (some) Arcade Fire supporting Barack Obama.
Sound quality is not the best, sorry about that, it’s the youtube rip.

English Version:
The first time I listened this song (I think I was 11 years old) was on that Freddy Mercury Tribute, Bowie & Lennox’s performance totally blew my mind even though I didn’t know why “that weird woman” was dressed like that 
Anyway, this post was conceived originally because of the awesome cover Xiu Xiu made of this song for the album Women As Lovers (have you listened it?.. go here)
MP3s:
The Blood Brothers - Under Pressure
David Bowie & Annie Lennox - Under Pressure
The Flaming Lips - Under Pressure
Fobia - Presionando
Joss Stone - Under Pressure
Keane - Under Pressure
My Chemical Romance & The Used - Under Pressure
Xiu Xiu - Under Pressure
Versión en Español:
La primera vez que escuché esta canción (creo que tenía 11 años) fue en aquel concierto tributo a Freddy Mercury… la presentación de Bowie con Annie Lennox me impacto totalmente (y lo sigue haciendo) a pesar que no sabía que diablos pasaba ahí ni por qué esa “extraña mujer” estaba vestida de esa manera.
En fin, este post fue pensado en principio después de escuchar el gran (y extraño) cover que Xiu Xiu realizó de esta canción para su reciente álbum Women As Lovers (por cierto, ya lo escucharon?… si NO, vayan acá)
MP3s:
The Blood Brothers - Under Pressure
David Bowie & Annie Lennox - Under Pressure
The Flaming Lips - Under Pressure
Fobia - Presionando
Joss Stone - Under Pressure
Keane - Under Pressure
My Chemical Romance & The Used - Under Pressure
Xiu Xiu - Under Pressure

English Version:
This post was “inspired” when I was watching trailers of Julie Taymor’s Beatles musical: Across The Universe. At first it looks nice but is it good? Rotten Tomatoes rated it 52% but imdb 7.9…. anyway, I want to see that movie, no matter if it’s only “random Beatles songs on video”.
So, “wikipeding” there’s a bunch of covers of the song and I found them very very fast.

Este post está “inspirado” al ver los trailers del musical de los Beatles “Across the universe” dirigido por Julie Taymor. Como que se ve interesante la película, pero será buena???
Veo opiniones muy disparejas y siguiendo a los “críticos” Rotten Tomatoes le dio un 52% pero imdb 7.9…. bueno, de todas formas debo verla.
Al wikipediar al canción hay una gran cantidad de covers, lo bueno es que fue realmente fácil conseguir este compilado que les coloco.
