Grrr...

[Stefan]

How about Adrenaline Mob's version of Duran Duran's "Come Undone"? I think its pretty cool.

 

Yep.

 

[Captain Howdy]

Its a great cover, made even better by the addition of Lzzy Hale.

I've got their version of 'Heartbreak Hotel' somewhere, too ...

Skin had quite a few good pop covers on the bonus disc that came with the limited edition version of their debut CD:

Unbelievable (EMF)

Dog eat dog (Adam Ant)

Express yourself (Madonna)

Pump it up (Elvis Costello)

Hangin on the telephone (Blondie)

Should I stay or should I go (The Clash)

 

Their version of Madonna's "Express Yourself" was pretty damn good.

[Fat Freddy]

I just picked up one of L.A. Guns' covers discs ("Covered In Guns") yesterday on a whim and in additional to the usual suspects being covered (KISS, AC/DC, etc.) they throw in a few weird pop things like "Break My Stride" by Matthew Wilder and "Cry Little Sister" (aka "Theme from The Lost Boys")...

 

... "Break My Stride" is still an absolutely f*cking godawful song no matter who is performing it by the way...

Unsurprisingly, I'm talking complete bollocks!

[Captain Howdy]

I am confused, you completely agree that its an awful song but you love it?

Yeah, f*** knows what I was on at that point. Made no f***in' sense at all. Edited for accuracy now.

Unsurprisingly, indeed!

 

You've been the source of a few good laughs today, mate. Cheers.

Bumping this to share a couple of newer ones.

 

 

 

And speaking earlier of Prince covers, this will always be my favorite:

This one is marked as private so I did search on it and Mitch's version is great. I think Cyndi Lauper's cover is the best version of the song personally

[Captain Howdy]

No love for the original version but I love this cover

Radar Love - White Lion is probably my favorite cover as I think it is far better than the original.

Mixing ABBA songs with others.
There is also a Metallica/ABBA mash up album which is fun. Can't remember it at the moment.
