Lil Uzi Vert's "XO Tour Llif3" is everywhere—the song took off immediately upon its release in March, and it's still in Billboard's Top 10 three months later. Uzi found the crossroads between punk, emo, and rap music, and it has him reaching a bigger audience than ever before.
We expected a heavy metal cover or two, but then the classical pianos started popping up, and once we started looking, the hits kept coming. Violins, Chiptune, pen tapping—there's an "XO Tour Llif3"cover for everyone. Here are some of the weirdest, best, and worst.

Punk band Fame on Fire takes trap and goes punk. The band has done other covers including Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" and Bruno Mars' "24K Magic," and they brought the whole gang out for their Lil Uzi Vert cover. It looks like a rap video, and sounds like Linkin Park.

The gray-haired, self-proclaimed weirdo Devvon Terrell takes on the "XO Tour Llif3" with a killer set of vocals. The R&B singer not only covers some of your favorite songs but adds his own touch by dropping a few bars for a remix. It's a refreshing take on the track, both lyrically and on the TM-88 production.
