Be judicious

All along the Watchtower--Jimi

I heard it through the Grapevine--CCR
 
I just heard a remake of that song "Friday" by Rebecca Black. It was by some dude and it was better than the original.

For some reason I really want to remix that with "I don't like Mondays" and the geico camel saying "HUUMPPP DAY".
 
Time Is On Your Side--The Rolling Stones

And a modern personal favorite: Pulp's Disco 2000 covered by Slow Club.

(Original)


(Cover)
 
Orgy - Blue Monday
No Doubt - It's My Life
 
Tom Jones and the Cardigans - Burning Down the House

 
Just cause you dress like these bros, TJ at 70 still knocks em out the park



 
The Black Crowes' cover of "Hard To Handle." Even though I like Otis Redding's original, the cover is great.
 
Chris, I respect your love of the dead. Fuck I drove in a car from Winston to jersey to see them and Dylan in 87?

But no fucking way they did a BETTER version of Tangled. No fucking way.

That's top 15 Dylan airspace.

Personally, I think Dylan is a masterful songwriter. As a performer???? Meh.
 
This is the only answer though it is more of a remix than a cover song:
