Favorite covers of other people's music

[YoshiEgg25]

Mama Told Me (Not To Come):
Randy Newman's original
Three Dog Night's cover
Pretty much all of Three Dog Night's big songs are covers (Mama Told Me (Not to Come), Eli's Coming, Liar, Joy to the World, Never Been To Spain, Sure As I'm Sittin' Here, The Show Must Go On, and One), but this one is my favorite.

Hooked on a Feeling:
B.J. Thomas's original
Blue Swede's cover
Not that the original is bad (I prefer it at times), but the cover is awesome itself.

Flying:
The Beatles's original
Secret Machines's cover
I like most of the covers from Across the Universe, but this one is my favorite (with Eddie Izzard's rendition of "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" in a close second).


This isn't close to being all of them, but it's a good start for anyone interested.

RATM's renegades album, Cradle of filth - Mr crowley, dynamite hack- boyz n the hood

[MrPopo]

dynamite hack- boyz n the hood

Yeah, that one's fantastic. It's a nice soft song with hardcore gangsta lyrics being sung by white boys.

[Breetai]

Anything that Dream Theater or Bruce Dickinson covers is awesome.

The Willie Nelson cover of Grave Digger is really awesome, in my opinion.

Of course there are others, but those are what I thought of right away.

Killswitch Engage's cover of Holy Diver: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR7dG_m3MsI&ob=av2e

I've always like the Sunday Bloody Sunday cover by Ignite, personally like it better than the original by U2.
