What are your favorite renditions by an artist of some other artist's song?

I have Joey Ramone doing Lois Armstrong "what a wonderful world" ,

Ramones doing Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love" , as starters.

 

Fat Boy Slim doing Magic Carpet Ride...

 

I liked No Doubt doing talk talk's "its my life".

 

Oh, and I think Korn doing Word Up is awesome.

 

Foo Fighters-Darling Nicky
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Rage Against the Machine - Kick Out the Jams
311 - Love Song

 

Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal

 

good one!

two of my faves:

all along the watchtower cover by jimi hendrix (bob dylan original)
knockin on heaven's door cover by guns n roses (also a dylan original)

 

Tom Jones covering anything is awesome. Two of my favorites:

"Burning Down the House" with The Cardigans
"Are You Gonna Go My Way"

 

dope -You Spin Me Right Round - remake of dead or alive song
him - dont fear the reaper - you all know who did that one

 

I generally hate cover songs but i really liked Orgy's remake of Blue Monday.
