Maniac by Carpenter Brut

Type O Negative’s version of “Summer Breeze” https://youtu.be/XNo7ZZryuSQ

The Interrupters cover of “Bad Guy” and the Hailstorm cover of “Get Lucky” are 2 of my favorites.

Blinded by the Light

Written by Bruce Springsteen, but I think Manfred Mann did it much better.

for covers, a couple of songs where original is pretty sucky by Scary Pockets.

Wonderwall - oasis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jftpg_6SUYk&pp=ygUYc2NhcnkgcG9ja2V0cyB3b25kZXJ3YWxs

Rolling in the deep - adele https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTIOugluWb8&pp=ygUhc2NhcnkgcG9ja2V0cyByb2xsaW5nIGluIHRoZSBkZWVw

A cover band that does everything better: Leonid and Friends

Chicago song you never heard of but they make their greatest hit if it was produced/executed this well

sun is shining - bob marley --wingsuit flying remix. Could be best techno song ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W6Fa6rNlAY&list=RD3W6Fa6rNlAY&start_radio=1

Georg Levin got somebody new. 2nd Chorus punched up quite innovatively, and better drum track. Nothing taken away or interfering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LOEMSuxYPQ

Harder better (daft punk) – piano intro, more pop format, but also more advanced dance beat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwu-m39ek-w

woodstock - csny is a cover of Joni Mitchell

The Jennifer Saunders version of Holding Out for a Hero from Shrek 2

The Cascada versions are all better than their originals

Sound of Silence - Disturbed (this song is now theirs as far as I’m concerned; the original has zero percent of the emotion it was supposed to have)

Bizarre Love Triangle - nearly every remix is better. The original vocals are so, so bad.

Black History Month (Death From Above 1979), remixed by Death From Above 1979

Hurt (Nine Inch Nails), covered by Johnny Cash

Rebecca Black‘s cover of Fame is a Gun https://youtu.be/3sni1ckbBqw

Chris Cornell’s cover of Nothing compares to you

Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal

As much as I like the original, I really like this cover of Smile Again by 40mp.

Sleeping in my car - Children of Bodom

Supernaut by 1000 homo djs
