Ramin Djawadi’s epic Game of Thrones opening theme has inspired more than its fair share of covers. And because we love you (and the covers), we bring you a collection of the highlights. First up, YouTube user It’s a small World fulfilled every fan’s wish, and covered the theme using only calculators.
Next up, country singer/songwriter Kacey Musgraves brings us the country version of the theme song.
In a more traditional version, Reddit delivers a cover played on the piano in a Melbourne train station. Very “Light of the Seven” if we do say so.
Speaking of “Light of the Seven,” here’s a cover by PiscesRising that would make Djawdi himself proud.
Game of Thrones is of course a worldwide phenomenon, and thus a group of Moroccan youth perform a Berber version of the theme song. (Playback only on YouTube.)
And in perhaps the cutest version, a rabbit named Apollo, receives his very own cardboard replica of Winterfell, complete with the opening tune hummed by his parents. Aw.
And for the parents out there, Game of Thrones has its very own music box version of the theme song. The kids will love it.
Game of Thrones is often compared to Lord of the Rings, and one fan took the comparison to the next level. Mordor as a stand in for King’s Landing? We can dig it.
Not to be left out, Avatar fans also received their very own mashup.
Even the Hungarian military gets involved, as the Hódmezővásárhely Garrison Band performed its own cover of Djawadi’s theme.
On a more dour note, YouTube user Dillon Gardner (and unnamed accomplice) perform the “Rains of Castamere” as we all have flashbacks to the Red Wedding. Thanks for that.
In a slightly more uplifting cover of the “Rains of Castamere”, dancers Priya Shah & Geatali Tampy perform choreography by Alvin Alex. Still not sure on the song choice though.
Calculators and dancing to the “Rains of Castamere”? We really have seen it all now.
