"Word Up" by Cameo is a Pop classic.

This Rock version by GUN slays it though IMO.

 

 

Well, that's a fairly weak track on an otherwise tremendous album, never understood why they released it as a single.

The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown).

The original "Fleetwood Mac" version is great and I wouldn't necessarily say the "Judas Priest" version slays it, but it reworks it beautifully. 

Also, "Victory" have a killer version that's more in keeping with the original, but it's not on the tubes unfortunately.

This one featuring the talented James Dean Bradfield.

Envenomed - Horror Movie.

"Skyhooks" are a Legendary and beloved Aussie Glam band from the 70s and early 80s. 

They have many Quintessential Aussie tracks.

It's hard to say that this version "slays" the original because of sentiment, but it's an Awesome tribute including the video. 

From the clips filmed at Melbourne's Luna Park to what they end up wearing and the Epic Red Symons cameo.
