Cover of the Week: Everybody Wants To Rule

This is a very interesting cover because it has a story involved with it, the original song is from Tears from Fears released in 1985, now the cover is in the game Bioshock Infinite by Scott Bradlee that is set in 1912, the over is a rag time version of this song set to the era of 1912, now the game explains this because in this game one of the characters can summon tears into reality and they start popping out all around the fictional city of Columbia, one of the characters hears a tear from the 80's and starts hearing different songs from different eras later to copy them with the esthetics of 1912, I find the reason for the creation of this song fascinating as well as I love covers that completely change the genre of said song.

Here is the song: 

Here is the original:
