I was going to post a related topic myself - but I might as well start here. What track should I cover in my live show? I'm doing some experimental electronica, but I want to do a cover version so that everyone will know the tune. Any suggestions? There are not enough hard electronica cover versions, so help me put that right.
My favourites? Anything by the Moog Cookbook, or China Drum's version of Wuthering Heights. Not electronica, QED.

requires some thought, but anyone got any innappropriate/unlikely ones ?
There she goes by the Las is a great song covered pretty much to a tee by holier than thou frumpy christian clan Sixpence none the richer.; who presumably failed to realise the song was penned based on the groups experiences of class A drug abuse (coursing thru my veins...etc..)during the 80s. chuckle.

Nu ideas - Soft Cell's Tainted Love and Frank Black's Hang Onto Your Ego are top cover versions.
But I think I ought to cover an instrumental theme tune people will recognise - Star Trek? Hitch-hikers' Guide? Sci-fi seems to suit. Or Telstar by the Tornadoes - space-related again, but one of the great instrumentals.
Any more suggestions?

There's very few cover songs that I like... VERY few. In fact, I'm at a loss, I can't even name ONE...
Britney Spears' ''Satisfaction'' is pretty rockin'. :-/

Probably "Down In The Park" by Marilyn Manson, originally by Gary Numan. Didn't like the Foo Fighters version, though.
Also, "Mad World" covered on the Donnie Darko soundtrack, originally done by Tears For Fears is quite good.
Most of the covers Marilyn Manson have done I've liked, "Sweet Dreams", "I Put A Spell On You", etc.
And as for the cover I dislike the most, I have to go with "Summer Breeze" by Type O Negative.

So, the probleml w/ covers is that they almost never do justice to the original, and can infact be rather offensive. I find that Sting's cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" does do justice to the original, with its great passion.
There's probably a cover that I like better, but I just can't recall it at the mo.

Cover songs are for bands who can't write their own songs.

I liked the ELVIS (impersonater) version of Nirvanas "Come as you are"
You might think it sounds wierd but it was actualy very cool.
