Favorite cover song?

[Pbonetheman]

I always thought it was pretty funny that they used this song for Airheads.

Airheads is hilarious.

Time to resurrect this thread, for a great one I recently discovered:

Two best that I can think of:

 

Common People - William Shatner and Ben Folds.  I could listen to this song on repeat all day and never get tired of it.

 

Hurt - Johnny Cash

I love Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt".

 

I'm a sucker for good cover versions. Dream Theater has released some "official" bootlegs that have covered everybody from Pink Floyd to Metallica to Iron Maiden. I personally own their Pink Floyd cover "official" bootleg. I highly recommend it.

One of my all time favorites. This used to be my alarm every morning.

 

I wanted this to play at my wedding, but the wife vetoed it. I wonder why...

Sex Pistols "I did it my way" by Frank Sinatra.

[Lhalo]

Saw this featured in The Big Short. I like it even though these guys have always been a little creepy.

Not sure what my favorite is, but I can tell you my least favorite is Van Halen doing the Kinks, You Really Got Me.

I've never liked that version either. Although, Eruption right before it is still amazing. On a side note, until my early 20s, I always thought the Van Halen song, Dance the Night Away, was a cover. It wasn't until I was talking about it with a co-worker and he told me it wasn't that I learned that the band wrote it. I lost the $20 bet.
