That's the one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. The video seems to indicate she at least partially intended it as a joke though.
Placebo did something interesting with Running Up That Hill. I can't think of much else beyond that.
Before Morisette covered it, it was the worst substance ever excreted by the Black Eyed Peas. I'm pretty sure this cover isn't a serious work:DQuote:

It's fantastic.
Yes, it was intended entirely as parody. xP She released it on her website for free for her fans to lol at, but never as an actual single or anything. xPQuote:

I really like this song, the Black-eyed peas song anyway, it's CATCHY.
Yeah, it was a joke. A good one too imo.Quote:

I also agree that Placebo did a very good cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill". It's still not as good as the original, though.
Also, Jeff Buckley's version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is quite possibly the best cover song EVAR!
Mine would probably be the Deftones cover of Simple Man.
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
My constant answer to this question.
And the proper one.Quote:

I've always quite liked Soft Cell's cover of Tainted Love as well. Don't know why because they don't really do my kind of music. Also had a fantastic cover of The Scientist (Coldplay) by... Aimee Mann, I think it was. That was nice.
AMAZING cover, although the original is miles better still.Quote:

And the Arctic Monkeys version of Love Machine, just because they crack up halfway through at the lame-ass lyrics. :laugh:
The cover that Ben Folds did of Bitches Ain'tis amazing.
oh placebo is a cover? *got that song off itunes because the singer sounded like kishi xD*
I was proud of never having heard My Humps until I went to Planet Hollywood in London and BAM there it was. It doesnt bother me now though.
my favorite covers. . .
Love Song (Jack off Jill)
When I'm 64 (John Denver)
Jolene (Mindy Smith)
Fly Me to the Moon (whoever did this version labelled Macross)
Loony BoB's cover of Freaky With You. I can't believe I forgot that. Someone should totally find the link. xD
I concur. :)Quote:

Little Sparrow ~ David Cook
Enjoy the Silence ~ Tori Amos

Is it better than Nait's cover of Hit Me Baby One Time?Quote:

This acoustic cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella" is pretty great.

My Parent's Favorite Music - Just Try And Sue Us is actually a really good cover of Skee Lo's "I Wish."
This is great.Quote:

I agree. Though he has done some other brilliant covers too, but that is his most well known and probably most successful in his time.Quote:
