    Funny story about cover songs. Worked in a bar that you played your own music at and there were only 2 dancers on each shift. I'm a total rock chick and she was a pop girl.

    Followed her set, she was listening to Pink's "Get this party started". I made a funny face to the crowd and said, "Whoa, gotta change this"...

    ...and put the same exact song right back on, but the version by Stretch Armstrong (punky version).

    Got a great laugh and quite a few extra tips for that laugh.

    not meaning to repeat myself, but the best cover ever has to be HIM's cover of Chris Isaac's 'Wicked Game' ...

    Wonderful thread .... I really like Vanessa Carlton's version of Paint it Black. It's done really good and I never would have expected to hear it from her. Holly McNarland does a great cover of Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight.

    I'd also like to say that Tori Amos's covers as mentioned above (off of Strange Little Girls) are terrible compared to songs she actually felt connected to. She only did that album to fulfill contract obligations, but songs that she has done live, or on her b-sides are a lot better. You can hear passion in her voice that any Tori fan could really appreciate (although not SC-friendly), the following songs are awesome by her: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Father Figure, Down By the Seaside, Killing Me Softly, Hurt, Tiny Dancer, I'm On Fire, Lovesong.....just to name a few.

    Any cover Marilyn Manson does is great (Tainted Love, Personal Jesus, Sweet Dreams)
    Johnny Cash's Hurt (NIN) is incredible and so moving
