The Late Movies: Covering the Boss

It’s the boss’s birthday! To celebrate, here are a few covers of some of his classic songs. Happy birthday, Bruce!

Fun.

The band behind “Some Nights” and “We Are Young” cover Springsteen’s “Born to Run.”

At a Kennedy Center event honoring Springsteen, Mellencamp sang “Born in the U.S.A.”

In 1985, Ms. Turner sang “Dancing in the Dark” to an enthusiastic crowd in Tokyo.

They performed Bruce’s 1985 hit “I’m Goin’ Down.”

The singer-songwriter sings a haunting version of “I’m on Fire.” (She’s also covered “Streets of Philadelphia.”)

While playing in Red Bank, New Jersey, the band put its spin on "Atlantic City."
