This is a favourite - I love the twist on the original, hahaha: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=W91sqAs-_-...
Also, this is a perfect cover: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kO4BF67pvs...
Actually, Blondie covered a lot of songs but people always regard them as their own, e.g. Denis and Hanging on the Telephone
Edited: What question? You didn't ask a question. Here are some words that you need for form a question: "Who," "What," "When," "Where," "Why," or "How." Feel free to use these words anytime you wish. You can also use these if you don't like the ones I have provided so far: "Do," "Did," "Is," and "Will."
"Iron Man" by the Cardigans (original by Black Sabbath)
"Don't Let it Bring You Down" by Annie Lennox (original by Neil Young)

"Hard to Handle" by the Black Crowes (original by Otis Redding)
"My Sweet Lord" by Nina Simone (original by George Harrison)

Cyndi Lauper's cover of "When You Were Mine" (originally by Prince) =]
jeff buckley doing cohens Hallelujah is amazing and so is johnny cash doing hurt. i much prefer the covers.
me first and the gimme gimmes are a fantastic cover band.
The Beatles did a lot of covers. Beatles For Sale (1964), the band's 4th album has covers of Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins, and Chuck Berry songs, yet they sound like Beatles songs.
A really good cover is Lay Lady Lay. Originally by Bob Dylan, this song has a good cover by Magnet.
Linkin Park with nine inch nail's song wish
and Jack's Mannequin doing the song God by John Lennon.
"Respect" by Aretha Franklin, originally by Otis Redding.
"All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix, originally by Bob Dylan.
Some of the stuff from the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Elvis.
you got it, type o negative
The following prove that imitation Is indeed the sincerest form of flattery-
Tool's cover of Led Zeppelin's No Quarter
Moonspell's cover of Mr. Crowley by Black Sabbath
Tori Amos cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Johnny Cash cover of Hurt by Reznor's NIN
Easy Star All-Stars tribute of the entire Dark Side Of The Moon album by Pink Floyd
I know exactly what you mean with this!!
One that stands out is Jolene- originally sung by Dolly Parton. The White Stripes covered the song, but didn't change the lyrics to match the gender. The lyrics is: "Jolene, jolene, jolene, i'm begging of you, please don't take my man." Jack White sings the song, and it sounds kinda funny coming from a man.
But he sings with such heart-wrenching emotion, it doesn't even seem out of the ordinary. Sometimes, I even forget it wasn't his original song, because the passion that he plays with is astounding, and the lyrics seem like something he would write.
Interesting question!
Killswitch Engage's version of Holy Diver by Dio. lol i didnt really like it at first but after watching the music video it cracked me up
Van Halen's cover of Linda Ronstadt's ''You're No Good'' was pretty cool. There is a tune by Great White called ''Bitches and Other Women'' which is a mixture of the Rolling Stones' ''Bi*ch'' and Foreigner's ''Women'' that I kinda like. I also like ''Time Has Come Today'' by the Ramones and ''Suspicious Minds'' by Dwight Yoakam
Johnny Cash definitely made NIN's Hurt his own.
Guns N' Roses also made a very nice version of Sympathy For the Devil, I really didn't notice it was Sympathy till the sing started, Axl really makes it sound more... evil? (especially with that laugh man, Mick could never do that)
