Straight out of wikipedia under covers for Mercy:

"Mercy" has been covered (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_version) several times since its release. In 2008, American band OneRepublic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OneRepublic) recorded a version of the song which was first heard as a live (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_music) cover on the BBC Radio 1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Radio_1) Live Lounge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_Lounge). Their version of the song later appeared, in live format, on the band's third single "Say (All I Need) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Say_%28All_I_Need%29)".[59] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercy_%28song%29#cite_note-58) The Fratellis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fratellis) also recorded "Mercy", mixed with the Minder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minder_%28TV_series%29) theme tune, specially for broadcast on the Live Lounge.[60] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercy_%28song%29#cite_note-59) Duffy herself also recorded "Mercy" live for the Live Lounge. In the broadcast, the singer also sung a cover of Hot Chip (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Chip)'s single "Ready for the Floor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready_for_the_Floor)".[61] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercy_%28song%29#cite_note-60) British production team The Third Degree recorded a version, released March 9, 2009 on the Acid Jazz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_Jazz_Records) label as a 7" vinyl record. John Mayer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mayer) also covers the song as a slow blues in many of his live shows, featuring an extended blues guitar solo, and a monologue touching on blues and R&B influencing songs in today's popular music.
