Cover Versions
- Girls Under Glass released a version of this song on their 1995 album Crystals & Stones called "(Another) One of These Days"
- The German progressive trance project Haldolium released a cover version of this song on a 12" picture disc in 2001 on Free Form Records. Their version, which was a success throughout the worldwide goa and trance scenes, was heavily inspired by the Girls Under Glass version.
- The stoner rock band Men of Porn covered "One of These Days" on their 2001 release Experiments in Feedback.
- Blue Man Group covers this song during their How to Be a Megastar 2.0 tour in 2006. They use their Tubulum instrument to simulate the double-bass guitar effect.
- Metallica covered "One of These Days" live in Seoul in 2006.
- Psychedelic black metal band Nachtmystium included a musical homage entitled "One of These Nights" as the opening track on their 2008 album Assassins: Black Meddle, Part 1 (the album title itself is a reference to Pink Floyd's 1971 album Meddle). The song features many of the same elements of the original, but reinterpreted within a black metal idiom. It opens with wind, much like the original, but the bass is replaced with a chugging guitar ostinato while the keyboard "stabs" feature darker harmonies. The sole lyric from the original is also changed to state: "One of these nights I'm going to fucking die."
- Gov't Mule has covered "One of These Days" live three times. The first time on 31 October 2008 at the Orpheum in Boston, on 8 February 2009 at the House of Blues in Dallas, and as the opening song at the Friday night Midnight set at Wanee Festival 2010. All three times, lead singer and guitarist Warren Haynes deliberately omitted the spoken intro line.
- German techno and trance producer Cosmic Baby, aka Harald Blüchel, produced an uncredited cover version of the song on his 1994 album Thinking About Myself, under the track title of "Au Dessous Des Nuages".
- Dream Theater covered "One of These Days" during a show in Rotterdam in 2004.

Famous quotes containing the words cover and/or versions:
“If I use the media, even with tricks, to publicise a black youth being shot in the back in Teaneck, New Jersey ... then I should be praised for it, and it’s more of a comment on them than me that it would take tricks to make them cover the loss of life.”
—Al, Rev. Sharpton (b. 1954)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
