Great Cover Version(s)

[Mile_High_Mark]

"You're The One That I Want" -- The Beautiful South

Yes, it's the song from the movie Grease. It's excellent. They also cover "Don't Fear The Reaper" and "Blitzkrieg Bop" on the same album.

i just downloaded it. pretty cool. its catchy.

[george]

is that travolta?

[Mile_High_Mark]

The vocals on the cover version are Paul Heaton and Alison Wheeler (sp?). Paul has been in the Housemartins and The Beautiful South, and Alison replaced Jacquie Abbott (sp?) who replaced Briana Corrigan (sp?).

Also highly recommended is "Don't Stop Movin'" from the same album.

And then there's "Dont Marry Her, **** Me"

[Momona Boe]

Highway to Hell - done by Cheap Trick

I think I like it more than AC/DC

i've been digging the postal service's cover of "against all odds." ain't nothing like a phil collins remake...

[catfish]

By far, one of the best covers was Lenny Kravitz's version of "American Woman." The Ataris didn't do a bad job with "Boys of Summer," either.

[sniffleless]

Supersuckers cover of "Hey Yah"
Dinosuar Jr's cover of "Just Like Heaven"
fluf's cover of "Redemtion Song"
Frente's cover of "Bizzar Love Triangle"
Beach Boys cover of "Sloop John B"

Just a few that come to mind.

Frente's cover of "Bizzar Love Triangle"

Great song.

Let's see...

Devo - Head Like a Hole
Scissor Sisters - Take Me Out

The only ones I can think of right now.

[Sal Pic]

Less Than Jake coveres the entire Grease soundtrack. I'm not much of a Grease fan, but I love covers, and just the idea of doing an entire album is cool.

Goldfinger's cover of 99 red baloons
Save Ferris's covers of Come on Eileen and Build Me up Buttercup.
Reel Big Fish's cover of Hungry Like the Wolf

I like ska way too much

[Sherpa]

reel big fish covering pixies-gigantic

[bean-a-reano]

The entire Eric Clapton album - Me and Mr. Johnson

[sniffleless]

DEVO's cover of "Can't get no satisfaction"
Frankie Goes to Hollywood's cover of "Born to Run"


Nirvana's cover of Bowie was great and the Meat Puppets cover too.

Johnny Cash/Joe Strummer - Redemption Song
Luka Bloom - Dancin' Queen
Foo Fighters - Darling Nikki
