Each week, Mashable picks a popular song, finds 10 covers of it and asks you to vote for your favorite.

Ever since Facebook brought real-time music streaming and discovery to users’ News Feeds and profiles, Spotify integration has shown us that our friends are huge fans of American indie pop band Foster the People.

It’s no wonder several dozen musicians have covered the band’s hit song “Pumped Up Kicks” on YouTube. We’ve chosen 10 of the best versions and corralled them into the video gallery below. Pump up your speakers and then vote for your favorite rendition in the poll.

Last Week’s Face-Off Winner: Artist vs. Poet

The pop punk cover of Nicki Minaj’s â€œSuper Bassâ€ from Artist vs. Poet mustered 30% of the votes in last weekâ€™s Face-off to beat out its nearest competitor by just 6%.

“We did a cover for Nicki Minajâ€™s ‘Super Bass’ and we released a small clip as a joke … however, so many of you were demanding the full version we decided to finish it,” the band wrote in a Tumblr post. “We will be making a YouTube video for the release of that song that will feature You or you and your friends singing/rapping/dancing/being goofy/doing whatever to our version of the song and we will include your clips in our video.”

Check out that crowdsourced video below. Artist vs. Poet also released an original song, “Doin’ Alright,” this month (see video number four). The band plans to release a new EP in November.

Here’s a collection of covers from last week’s winner.
