There's also a version by Elvis Costello and Nick lowe that's sweet.

People will think this sacriligious, but Roddy Frame (from Aztec Camera ) does an acoustic version of the Beatle's In My Life that is, indeed, better than the original.
And In My Life is my most favourite song, so that's saying something!

[QUOTE=stanworshipper]I may be in the minority here, but I liked Marilyn Manson's version of Tainted Love better than the original.


Actually, Tainted Love was originally a soul number,done in 1964 by Gloria Jones- and it's the best version by far...sounds a bit like Rescue Me by Fontella Bass, but way better.

GOOD covers of BAD songs
 
I can't think of any. Please prove that there are some.

"Oops I Did It Again" by Children of Bodom was slightly more tolerable than the original, probably due to the juxtaposition of a death metal band doing a cover of a pop song.

The Fray - Heartless (Kenye West)
Chack my journal for a download.

Motorhead's cover of "Stand By Your Man" is pretty rad.

In Flames - World of Promises

The original is a *** song by some hair metal band I can't remember.

Oh, I just thought of another one, Laibach's cover of "Live is Life" by Opus.

Here's the original:



And Laibach's infinitely better fascist marching tune cover of it:
