And don’t get cute and do songs people don’t know are covers like I Will Always Love You or Torn
Animal (the muppets) - wipeout
Can’t hear it without getting cheered up. Never fails.
Thick of it (Ray Walter Music remix)
Maniac by Carpenter Brut
Zebraheads cover of Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne.
Judas priest - diamonds and rust
I’ll go with Common People, the Will Shatner version.
Diamonds by Steam Powered Giraffe.
I’ll be honest though I didn’t know it was a cover until recently. Who’d’a thunk it
Shinedown’s cover of Simple Man is incredible.
“Spanish Eyes” cover by Faith No More
Placebo’s cover of Kate Bush’s ‘Running up that Hill’. The song gives me chills.
It helps that I find Kate Bush’s voice like nails on a blackboard.
Sleeping in my car - Children of Bodom
Gamma Ray’s «It’s a Sin» (original by Pet Shop Boys)
The Cascada versions are all better than their originals
Sound of Silence - Disturbed (this song is now theirs as far as I’m concerned; the original has zero percent of the emotion it was supposed to have)
Bizarre Love Triangle - nearly every remix is better. The original vocals are so, so bad.
The Interrupters cover of “Bad Guy” and the Hailstorm cover of “Get Lucky” are 2 of my favorites.
Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World
