Ha wow, I've loved the cover version for a long time, but never realized it was a cover! Glad you posted these.

I just found out it was a cover today. Hearing the 2 back to back made me smile. He did such a good job covering an awesome song.

There is also this awesome remix Karla turned me on to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MtjgVQemcM&feature=related

You know his Massive Attack cover too right?

Not sure, which song is the Massive Attack one?

Wow, I'd heard both of these but just never put the two together!

BTW, I'm planning to come to Chris' party in a couple of weeks... I hope I'll see you there?

Yeah, I didn't know they were covers at first either. That little list of related videos on You Tube can be very educational sometimes.

Yes, I will be at Chris' party. It will be good to see you then.

let me add a few more versions to the mix (mp3s not videos):

Grizzly Bear vs. The Knife? Not sure what that's all about but that's what it says: Grizzly Bear/The Knife - Knife/Heartbeats [Grizzly Bear vs. The Knife by PARRKA]

A different recording by Jose Gonzalez than the in the video: Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats (Live at The 9.30 Club, Washington--NPR version)

No idea who this guy is, but it's apparently a cover (haven't listened to it yet): Marco Benevento - Heartbeats

This one is a very different take from the others. Quoting the blog that I took it from: "Scala are a 60-member Belgian girls choir. Here, augmented by the musicianship of the Kolacny Brothers, they take on The Knife's 'Heartbeats' stripping back the electronics and letting the melodies soar over a simple piano part." Very interesting: Scala & Kolacny Brothers - Heartbeats

And here are two different versions of the Rex The Dog Remix, though I'm not sure which is which, or whether they're different from the ones in the videos you linked to:
The Knife - Heartbeats... )
