I have come across this version of Tainted love "" and I like it but so many covers of original versions are so very poor.
Are there any covers you prefer to the originals?
And are there any covers you feel should be put in room 101?

I'm a big Queen fan- and just saw a clip on TV of Pink covering Bo Rap in concert. Surprisingly, it was actually bloody good! :beer:

Electric 6's cover of Radio Gag-Ga should not only be sent into Room 101 but he should be strung up by his nadgers and roasted over an open fire evil
Thumbs up for Nouvelle Vague's cover of Ever Fallen In Love With Someone. In fact most of their covers are stoooopendous! Not as good as the originals but pretty damn fine! :thumbup:

Its very rare that I prefer a remake to an original but a few I do like are
DJ Sammys version of Boys of Summer (not even sure who sings the original.
I like the 1992 Undercover version of Baker Street, original by Gerry Rafferty.

Arctic Monkeys covered 'Love Machine' by Girl's Aloud on Radio 1's Live Lounge album, in a very tongue in cheek way that never fails to make me smile.
In fact I like quite a number of the covers generated by Live Lounge. It changed my opinion of acoustic music completely. Particularly when the cover sounds entirely different to the original.

Want more? I know so many......The butthole surfers version of American woman....The Residents album of Elvis covers....I have a reggae version of the whole of Pink Floyds dark side of the moon....I fucking LOVE cover versions the more they vary from the original the better....and Ben, Tom Waites' best cover is his version of Somewhere from west-side story
I nearly forgot this, this is absolute genius but apparently too long for you-tube

Given Bert & Ernie's prominence on the Google doodle today, I thought I'd offer this version of Bert & Ernie (from Sesame St) doing their tribute to Metallica.

Johnny Cash's version of NIN's Hurt was played at my best friend's funeral last year. Breaks my heart to hear it now :cry:

For an album full of covers I'll go with Jeffery Lewis's '12 Crass Songs', because hippy geeks from New York doing sweet and slightly inept acoustic versions of atonal cockney anarcho-punk should not work but they all do, mostly more so than the originals - and I have a weakness for Crass.

I like both versions, I guess the DJ Sammy version is just converted to a music genre with which I have more of a connection. I like lots of what a lot of folks would probably call bad techno trance covers of songs for example Dario G's version of "Dream to me" by the Cranberries. Some not even covers I suppose, more remixs. Again with DJ Sammy theres the cover of Bryan Adams Heaven.
Heres one that always causes a shite load of debate :twisted: Whos version of "Run" is better, Leona or Snow Patrol? Dont mind the Leona version but I am firmly in the Snow patrol camp.
