Lera Lynn's cover of Wolf Like Me. I might like it more than the original.

also, Beyonce makes an unlistenable song totally listenable : Sex On Fire

i also agree with whoever said 'Shadowplay' covered by The Killers. Sometimes it's all about matching up band with song to make a good cover, and that was a perfect match. Whoever was in charge of the Control soundtrack sure did good. the video isn't that bad either.

a hilarious one: marina & the diamonds cover 3OH!3's Starstruck.

Primus - Making Plans for Nigel (XTC)

Ronny - If You Want Me To Stay (sly & the family stone) - from a great Nouvelle Vague album

Nouvelle Vague - Too Drunk To Fuck (Dead Kennedys)

Lana Del Rey covers Leonard Cohen

 

[JedTheHumanoid]

^So many great covers of that song...

Sure this has already been mentioned but John Cale - Hallelujah

Never thought I'd prefer any version over St. Jeff's but I think John's more stately version swings it for me now...
