Eighties Cover Songs, Songs Beginning with B

Thanks to Warren Bakay for suggesting this page to me, I hadn't even realized until he mentioned it, the music industry is dredging up big hits from the last decade due to a not-so-surprising lack of imagination by the current stars. This should of course come to no suprise to most people, some big hits of the eighties were covers as well ("Mickey", "Der Kommisar", "You Keep Me Hanging On" (which was remade into a hit four times so far)). So far though, most covers have been pretty hideous. We only list songs that are originally from the eighties and are now being made into covers. We also only list a band if they're already well known or the group is making a lot of radio play with the remake.

Oh and to clear up a misconception a few people out there seem to be having about this page (and sending me very nasty letters). I have no problem with artists who do a cover of a song in concert, or because they are just starting out and don't have enough original material of their own for a full set of songs. As a matter of fact, cover bands can be great fun to go and see. All groups in modern history start out this way, I own a lot of The Beatles albums and they were the original cover group. A lot of early rock songs were covers of old R&B tunes. It's a fact of life.

"Baby Can I Hold You Tonight", Originally by Tracy Chapman, Remade by Neil Diamond
Another good cover
"Baby Got Back", Originally by Sir-Mix-Alot, Remade by Agent Felix
a great cover It really made me laugh and rock out at the same time look it up on www.windowsmedia.com ya might find it there
"Baby Got Back", Originally by Sir Mix-a-lot, Remade by Throwdown
this is an awesome cover by the oc hardcore band. its right on even the female screaming is great. must hear.
"Baby Got Back", Originally by Sir Mix-A-Lot, Remade by ArchaiC
This Cover was good, it was very aggresive, much like the cover by throwdown, but this one showed a better representation of the original song, but by combining heavy rock guitars, and a Dj for all the scrathwork, this cover is definately a keeper
"Baby Got Back", Originally by Sir-mix-a Lot, Remade by Throwdown
The best version of this song ever!!! If you are into heavy music this cover is a must have.
"Baby It's A Wild World", Originally by Cat Stevens, Remade by Mr Big
much better then the original at leas that's what i think
"Baby got Back", Originally by Sir Mix-A-Lot, Remade by Richard Cheese
Hilarious cover. Baby Got Back being rearranged to sound like hotel lounge music. It's somethin' else.
"Back For Good", Originally by Take That, Remade by Robbie Williams
Yes, I realize he was in the group, but since he wasn't the singer on the original it counts. Plus it's much harder in the chorus than the original.
"Back In Black", Originally by AC/DC, Remade by The Hives
Great remake with the music sounding the same but with Howlin Pelles unique vox
"Back In Black", Originally by AC/DC, Remade by Yngwie Malmsteen
In a word: awesome! The song remains pretty much the same apart from a slight re-shuffling of the riff order at the start, and mad solo's chucked in for good measure (just Yngwie being Yngwie!) I think I actually prefer this to the original. Highly recommend it.
"Bad Connection", Originally by Yaz, Remade by Everclear
Well, it comes off sounding a lot like an Everclear song, big-guitars chorus and all, which may be good or bad depending on your tastes. The retro tinge is pretty much gone, but the prank-call segment in the middle hasn't left.
"Bad To The Bone", Originally by Running Wild, Remade by Donots
Cool cover version by the German Punk Band "The Donots". From the 7 track special EP "Donots go Metal", which features a studio version and a live version with "Rockin' Rolf" from Running Wild himself.
"Bad/ Fat", Originally by Michael Jackson, Remade by Weird Al Yankovic
FUNNY MTV...
"Baker Street", Originally by Gerry Rafferty, Remade by The Foo Fighters
The DJ who played this song called this the greatest remake of a song ever. I just had to laugh.
"Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead", Originally by XTC, Remade by CrashTest Dummies
As much as I admire the mega-talented XTC, I enjoy the Dummies version a bit more than the original. Ellen Reid sings lead and she can really belt it out! If your an XTC fan it's worth a listen.
"Barbie Girl", Originally by Aqua, Remade by Home Grown
Not really a big Home Grown fan, but ,man, is this song great. Its so funny that they actually made this song tolerable.
"Bark At The Moon", Originally by Ozzy Osbourne, Remade by Strung Out
Off the Punk Goes Metal compilation, but this cover is just nowhere near as good as the original
"Bark at the Moon", Originally by Ozzy Osbourne, Remade by The Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13
From Viva los violence, the drag queens final album before Wednesday went to join the Murderdolls, does fantastic justace to a classic song, R.I.P. F.D.Q.
"Barracuda ", Originally by Heart , Remade by Rasputina
Hearing this song played on a cello gives me a new appreciation for the cello!
"The Beat Goes On", Originally by Sonny and Cher, Remade by Britney Spears
She really should not have gone there! SHE SUCKS!
"The Beautiful Ones", Originally by Prince, Remade by Mariah Carey and Dru Hill
The original was great don't get my wrong, but I think that the remake was more power and intense. Dru Hill and Mariah did a pretty good job.
"Beautiful World", Originally by Devo, Remade by Harvey Danger
This is a song that was never actually released... they had recorded it for the '200 Cigarettes' soundtrack, and it was turned down ... so, they then recorded 'Save It For Later' which ended up being their contribution to the movie. I actually like this one better, but HD is my favourite band.
"Beautiful World", Originally by Devo, Remade by Rage Against The Machine
A great cover, really really different from the original, and with interesting vocals from the normally harsh rap of RATM's Zack de la Rocha.
"Because The Night", Originally by Patti Smith, Remade by Jan Wayne
eurotrance version of patti smith - huge hit in europe! not bad if you like dance music.
"Because The Night", Originally by Patti Smith, Remade by Keel
Really like this version much better that the 10,000 Maniacs one. Not bad for a metal version.
"Beds are Burning", Originally by Midnight Oil, Remade by Novaspace
Dancefloor version. Pure commerce. Novaspace does a lot of other 80s cover songs as well.
"Beethoven's 5th", Originally by Beethoven, Remade by Yngwie J. Malmsteen
this guy rocks!!!!!!!!!
"Behind Blue Eyes", Originally by The Who, Remade by Limp Bizkit
They recorded it for the Halle Berry movie Gothika. I think it's a great version. He doesn't have the sad sound that Roger Daltrey had but I think he did a good job. I believe it's actually a 70's song but there's no cover songs list on that page.
"Behind the Wheel", Originally by Depeche Mode, Remade by cut.rate.box
As a fan of industrial music, I prefer cut.rate.box's take on what already was a very good song. This version has a bit more edge and energy.
"Being Boiled", Originally by Human League, Remade by Atrocity
A very gothic of this song by the German metal band "Atrocity". From their album "Werk 80", which contains a whole bunch of great metal versions of popular 80s songs.
"Being Boring", Originally by Pet Shop Boys, Remade by Autopulver
"Being Boring", Originally by The Pet Shop Boys, Remade by Merril Bainbridge
While this Australian songstress faded into relative obscurity after her radio hit "Mouth" in the mid 90s, her album "The Garden" is a solid release. Her version of "Being Boring" takes what was a sorry attempt at a dance song and makes it into a tear jerker of a ballad. Go get this MP3. Better yet, but this album. The whole thing is great.
"Bela Lugosi's Dead", Originally by Bauhaus, Remade by Nouvelle Vague
Half the length of the original, but a great cover.
"The Best", Originally by Bonnie Tyler, Remade by Tina Turner
hate it!
"The Best Of Me", Originally by The Starting Line, Remade by An Empty Diary
this is a slower version of the original song but it still has the same power in it as the original awsome band check them out ... geocities.com/anemptydiary
"Bette Davis Eyes", Originally by Blondie, Remade by Gwyneth Paltrow
It's obvious........ this one's better than the original. Very breathy indeed! Cathchy too!!!!
"Bette Davis Eyes", Originally by Kim Carne, Remade by Paltrow
You have this song by blondie but I believe that kim carne sang the original not blondie. all the best - aislinn
"Better The Devil You Know", Originally by Kylie Minogue, Remade by Steps
"Big City Nights", Originally by Scorpions, Remade by Fozzy
Scorpions did a great job with this song as they did with all of their songs. Fozzy redid the song and it sounds great. The lead singer of Fozzy has a deaper voice making this song rock even harder. For me it's jsut something about the guitar solos in 80's and early 90's rock that makes the blood flow. You should really check out Fozzy's version it really rocks. The lead singer of Fozzy is actually a WWE wrestler, can you guess which one?
"Big Mess", Originally by Devo, Remade by Bantam Rooster
Really good cover from the "Mashing Potatos" Devo tribute album. What was once a poppy song about "a man with a mission" becomes a shreiking angry song about "a boy with a gun."
"Big Yellow Taxi", Originally by Joni Mitchell, Remade by Counting Crows featuring Vanessa Carlton
All you hear from Vanessa is the "oooh, baa, baa, baa" in the background.
"Bigmouth Strikes Again", Originally by The Smiths, Remade by Slapshot
Slapshot anger this up with a hardcore version...
"Bigmouth Strikes Again", Originally by The Smiths, Remade by Placebo
"Bigmouth Strikes Again", Originally by The Smiths, Remade by Placebo
lol..fun and I like the little changes they made to the lyrics. The original is better but this is a good giggle.
"Billie Jean", Originally by Michael Jackson, Remade by Ian Brown
The fist time I heard this cover I wasn't too sure about it but after listening again I really got into it. Ian Brown gives it his own funky spin without ruining the song. I highly recommend it (not that you know me and care...but it is quite good!).
"Billie Jean", Originally by Michael Jackson, Remade by Blackstreet
Most people can't mess with a Michael Jackson song, and this certainly rings true for the members of Blackstreet. Their cover was complete garbage and they should have been embarassed!
"Billie Jean", Originally by Michael Jackson, Remade by The Bates
not bad,but it was more like a cool thing,it was the only song i ever haerd from them.
"Billie Jean ", Originally by Michael Jackson, Remade by Soulwax
good song
"Bitch Is Back", Originally by Elton John, Remade by Bitch
good cover
"Bizarre Love Triangle", Originally by New Order, Remade by Frente
Made me want to vomit. Thankful they're not playing it much anymore. Sounded like nails on a chalkboard. Yikes.
"Bizarre Love Triangle", Originally by New Order, Remade by Frente!
really shows the true emotional meaning of the song
"Bizarre Love Triangle", Originally by New Order, Remade by Stabbing Westward
New Order's was stronger, and easier to dance to. The guitars are more obvious, but the covering band doesn't really add anything to it; even the end music box chimes were left in. "Bizarre Love Triangle" just works best with a more produced, electronic feel.
"Bizarre Love Triangle", Originally by New Order, Remade by Frente
Acoustically made junk.
"Bizzare Love Triangle", Originally by New Order, Remade by Devine & Statton
ex-young marble giants duo made this very good accoustic version
"Black (Live Version)", Originally by Pearl Jam, Remade by Staind
I was very impressed w/ Aaron Lewis's version, which was done acoustic....It gave new life to the song
"Black Celebration ", Originally by Depeche Mode, Remade by Monster Magnet
It is a truly great cover of the song Black Celebration, the vocals are excellent, the tone is really good, basiclly it fits the song.
"Black Steel", Originally by Public Enemy, Remade by Tricky
"Blister in the Sun", Originally by Violent Femmes, Remade by Migg
"Blitzkrieg Bop", Originally by The Ramones, Remade by Die Toten Hosen
Its alright but you can kind of tell these guys dont sing much English, being German and all and just for a little background info Die Toten Hosen means The Dead Pants in English
"Blitzkrieg Bop", Originally by The Ramones, Remade by Rob Zombie
Not sure where this came from originally, but its on the Past, Present & Future CD currently in stores.
"Blitzrieg Bop", Originally by The Ramones, Remade by Rob Zombie
Its allright,just a bit slower then the original. Having Rob Zombie sounds like he had a couple of shots. Giving it the old White Zombie touch. The Slurring!
"Bloodstains", Originally by Agent Orange, Remade by The Offspring
From the Read to Rumble Soundtrack, but this cover is just nowhere near as good as the original
"Blue Monday", Originally by New Order, Remade by Orgy
Awsesome cover!
"Blue Monday", Originally by New Order, Remade by Orgy
Very excellent if you like me are highly entertained by dark covers of 80's Pop songs.
"Blue Monday", Originally by New Order, Remade by Flunk
it was ok better than the original.
"Blue Monday", Originally by New Order, Remade by Orgy
Personally, I think the cover is absolutely wonderful. The original Blue Monday really puts me to sleep... it's too drawn out for me. I think Orgy did the song quite well.
"Blue Monday", Originally by New Order, Remade by Wave In Head
A pretty cool electronic version of the True Faith tribute. First impression is "Wow, this is good..." but it wears itself out after a while.
"Blue Monday ", Originally by New Order , Remade by Flunk
they took this song to a WHOLE new level!! Much better than the original. (not a big fan retro)
"Bohemian Rhapsody", Originally by Queen, Remade by The Braids
I like both versions.
"Bohemian Rhapsody", Originally by Queen, Remade by Weird Al Yankovich
Funny. That's all there is to it.
"Bohemian Rhapsody", Originally by Queen, Remade by Russell Watson
Very good but Freddy did it better
"Bohemian Rhapsody", Originally by Queen, Remade by Molotov
This cover is awesome!! This mexican rock/hip hop band really got this one right.
"Bohemian Rhapsody", Originally by Queen, Remade by Fugees
an impressive remake of one of the great rock songs of the era. definatly a different style than the original....but good in its own respects
"Bohemian Rhapsody", Originally by Queen, Remade by Bruce Dickinson & Montserrat Caballé
Very nice cover. Vocals by Dickinson (Iron Maiden's vocalist) and Caballé. They made a great work!
"Bonzo Goes to Bitburg", Originally by Ramones, Remade by The Agnews
This is on the Ramones tribute album "Gabba Gabba Hey". The Agnews do a great job of covering this song - they speed it up by 1/2 & start off the song w/ soundalike of Ronald Reagan (whom the song was about).
"Boogieman", Originally by KC and the Sunshine band, Remade by White Zombie
I'm pretty sure this was released in the eighties... Awesome cover by White Zombie.
"Borderline", Originally by Madonna, Remade by Showoff
achieves the same catchiness as the original :)
"Borderline", Originally by Madonna, Remade by Skinny Puppy
A very smooth but yet industrialized cover. Four thumbs up!!
"Borderline", Originally by Madonna, Remade by Showoff
Its ok.
"Born To Be Wild", Originally by Steppenwolf, Remade by Slayer
Hardcore. What more can I say? Possibly the greatest thrash band of all time doing perhaps the greatest rock anthem of all time.
"Boy's Don't Cry", Originally by The Cure, Remade by The lostprophets
An acoustic cover, done for a BBC Radio 1 session around February 04. Not bad, but not particularly great either
"Boys Don't Cry", Originally by The Cure, Remade by Oleander
I really thought the song was good by The Cure, but it's even better with Oleander's edge on the album February Son.
"Boys Don't Cry", Originally by The Cure, Remade by Reel Big Fish
A ska version of the original. Aaron Barrett does a wonderful job singing it and I actually like it better than the original. That could be because I'm not a big fan of the cure and I like ska...
"Boys Don't Cry", Originally by The Cure, Remade by Razorlight
Performed on MTV Icon: The Cure
"Boys Of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by Codeseven
Awesome cover - much harder than the original.
"The Boys Of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by The Ataris
Surprisingly good, for a classic rock tune redone by a 21st-Century punk band. The passion behind the lyrics is there, albeit it's sped up a little. However, what sounds almost exactly like the original is Mike Campbell's (or Danny Kortchmar's?) guitar solo. A second guitar even simulates the seagull cries. I saw the video and didn't think it was as memorable as Don's. This song's been covered several times, and I think Don would be most pleased with how this one sounds.
"Boys Of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by Dj Sammy
I think its a great cover, if you like club music, if you hate club you will hate it, I loved heaven, a brian adams "cover"
"Boys Of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by 13Even
Kinda Hard To Find, Good Song
"Boys Of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by The Ataris
a faster, more rocking version. i liked it.
"Boys Of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by The Ataris
im not that big of an ataris fan....but ill tell u something i think it sounds awesome...punk style song..i like cuz it reminds me of one of my best friends she moved..NOT SOUNDING EMO..but yea l8er
"Boys Of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by DJ Sammy
DJ Sammy and the Ataris both covered Don Henley's, "The Boys Of Summer" but I like the one by Don Henley better. Because I love the 80's. And I LOVE hearing original songs. Original songs are very nice. Especially from the eighties.
"The Boys Of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by The Ataris
Not a bad version but doesn't add much more to the original which is still an all time classic. I do like the reasoning behind why they did the cover.... "....Kris says he has a personal attachment to the song. "That song represented a part of my childhood where I remember travelling down to Florida for the first time to visit my grandparents in the summer and that song was huge" he says. "I heard it on the radio and my grandmother, who recently passed away, I made her take me out and buy that record. That song reminds me of my grandmother and it also reminds me of travelling the world for the first time. It was kind of like a nostalgic tint for me and it's just a great Americana rock song". The Ataris made one small change to the lyrics. Don's line 'I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac' has become 'I saw a BLACK FLAG sticker on a Cadillac'. "We actually did about ten different versions with different band names" Kris says. "There's our good friend Bill Stevenson who played drums in Black Flag and also the Descendants and All and I think that changing the name from the Deadhead sticker on the Cadillac to the Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac was a great honour to take the f***ing Grateful Dead name out of that song. I think that the Grateful Dead were f***ing horrible and most people, except for a bunch of snooty hippies, would agree with me that the Grateful Dead's music was just watered down f***ing country music and f***ing Black Flag were a much more credible band". - Gee, wouldn't think that changing a couple of words would have so much emotional attachment!
"The Boys Of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by The Ataris
I've heard Don Henley's 1984 hit, "The Boys Of Summer" before. But they remade it by the Ataris which was fast. But I like the one by Don Henley better. I have two favorite Don Henley songs, which are "Sunset Grill" and "Dirty Laundry".
"Boys dont cry", Originally by The Cure, Remade by Oleander
I hate this cover. I dont see how any band could mess it up but Oleander found a way. I wish there was a "Marilyn Manson" type cover for it. This was just terrible!
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by DJ Sammy
Don Henley:Hey, B.A! Bryan Adams:Yeah, Don? Don Henley:DJ Sammy did a lousy remake of one of my songs too. Can I join you on your lawsuit? Bryan Adams:Sure.
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley from The Eagles, Remade by The Ataris
The Ataris did a decent job but it still can't beat the original.
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by The Ataris
The Ataris is one of the best bands ever, and the cover sounds fantastical
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by The Ataris
First they rip off the greatest game system of all time, now this?!
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by The Ataris
An awesome cover! Personally, I find the Ataris' version better than the original!
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by The Ataris
Theres no need to talk about the importance of their song choice. The fact is Don Henley did a great job and they obviously just liked the song and covered it. No, it doesnt mean theyre out of ideas or that the dumb word change should start world war 3...get over it... its just a good cover and people are being jerks about it. THE ATARIS ARE AWESOME!!
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by DJ Sammy
Great remix - even better than the original!
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by Geesen
Cool remake, I still remember every word and catch myself singing along but I cant get used to the "Black Flag Sticker" line geez!!!!
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by The Ataris
The Ataris saw a "Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac" rather then the Dead Head sticker.
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by The Ataris
I think this version of the song is great...very modern version with harder rock n roll.
"The Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by Ataris
I don't think this is very good cover. They took an accoustically sound song and murdered it.
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by Bree Sharp
Greatr cover, and quite a different take on the song when sung by a woman
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by Geesen
Best version i've heard, bar the original... superb vocal performance, great synth solo in place of the original guitar. Good energy, top effort.
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by The Ataris
BLACK FLAG? Hardly relevant to anyone but those who even know who they are. Dead Head Sticker meant something to EVERYONE. these 20 something bands need to STOP remaking songs - maybe lack of talent?
"Boys of Summer", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by Code Seven
Rocks it out better than the Ataris' version, which stunk. A much much much better cover for the song, if you need a copy of it, since code seven isn't as "big" as the atari's, email me (either airman2000@hotmail.com or ncfoxden@triad.rr.com) Love the site. -fox
"Boyz-n-the Hood", Originally by Eazy-E And NWA, Remade by Dynamite Hack
Take the well-known rap song "boyz-n-the hood", play the notes w/ musical instruments rather than a synthesizer, slow down the beat by 1/2, and have a white guy sing it. That's what you get w/ the cover version by Dynamite Hack. I suspect it was payback for Run DMC's cover of "Walk This Way."
"Break My Stride", Originally by Matthew Wilder, Remade by Blue Lagoon
Never thought I would hear a girl singing this song because I thought it would sound cheesy, but somehow Blue Lagoon and their reggae style music pull it off with a cool new sound and beat! Excellent cover!
"Breaking Us in Two", Originally by Joe Jackson, Remade by Mandy Moore
I came across this while looking for Joe Jackson songs. It's pretty damn good for Mandy Moore. She doesn't butcher it.
"Breaking the Law", Originally by Judas Priest, Remade by Divit
Not bad.
"Brick House", Originally by Commodores, Remade by Rob Zombie w/Lionel Ritchie and Trina
I like both versions of this song. Rob Zombie did a good job and did it a little bit different from the original.
"Bridge Over Troubled Water", Originally by Simon And Garfunkel, Remade by Clay Aiken
Clay from american Idol did the song He did a good job on the song
"Bridge over Troubled Water", Originally by Simon and Garfunkel, Remade by Russell Watson
Beats the originalby a country mile
"Bring On The Dancing Horses", Originally by Echo And The Bunnymen, Remade by Lagwagon
From the really cool Before You Were Punk Vol. 2 compilation, this is actually a pretty good cover if you're into the punk sound.
"Bringin' On The Heartbreak", Originally by Def Leppard, Remade by Mariah Carey
AWFUL!! One of the worst covers ever. I don't believe they even gave their permission. fortunately she didn't ruin the original song.
"Bringin' On The Heartbreak", Originally by Def Leopard, Remade by Mariah Carey
It's pretty good but I like the original version better
"Bringin' on the Heartbreak", Originally by Def Leppard, Remade by Mariah Carey
Omygod, this cover is amazing! Beautiful vocals, emotions, live band.. She really pulled this one off! Something only she could do!
"Broken Wings", Originally by Mr. Mister, Remade by Boy
This is a very little know eurodance version of 1987!.I found it on a 12" single.
"Broken Wings", Originally by Mr. Mister, Remade by Tupac
I was literally sick to my stomach when I heard this.
"Broken Wings", Originally by Mr. Mister, Remade by Tupac
Sounds pretty good. Not exactly a cover, as it uses different lyrics. Worth a listen tho.
"Broken Wings", Originally by Mister Mister, Remade by K'Lee
"Broken Wings", Originally by Mister Mister, Remade by 2pac
I actually like the 2pac version to the original.The rap legend has never spoiled any song he sampled.He has put a lot of meaningful lyrics to a lot of songs.
"Broken Wings", Originally by Mr. Mister, Remade by Suzie K
Heard this today in my car... It was total garbage!!!
"Broken Wings", Originally by Mister Mister, Remade by Mayte
Good cover of the original. A little upbeat.
"Brown Eyed Girl", Originally by Van Morrison, Remade by Steel Pulse
Best cover I've ever heard of this song. Good stuff. It's NOT Shaggy. Like some files might read.
"Brown Eyed Girl", Originally by Van Morrison, Remade by Everclear
Awesome Cover of the song
"Brown Eyed Girl", Originally by Van Morrison, Remade by Weezer
great version.
"Brown Eyed Girl", Originally by Van Morrison, Remade by Lagwagon
Lagwagon rock, and so does this cover...
"Build Me Up Buttercup", Originally by The Foundations, Remade by Save Ferris
i loved the little "ska" twist! definitely better than the original!
"Build Me Up Buttercup", Originally by The Foundations, Remade by Never Heard Of It
I really like this cover. They made it more punk-ish (and a little faster) without ruining the song. its just as good as the original!
"Build Me Up Buttercup", Originally by The Foundations, Remade by The Goops
I dunno if this was an 80s song or not, but I think this is a very cool remake...very upbeat...
"Bullet The Blue Sky", Originally by U2, Remade by P.O.D.
Awesome hard rock fix!
"Bullet the Blue Sky", Originally by U2, Remade by Sepultura
Sepultura plays this like they wrote it themselves. Coooool.
"Burn In Hell", Originally by Twisted Sister, Remade by Cradle Of Filth
A great 80s metal song being covered in black metal style by genre leaders Cradle Of Filth. Great Stuff !!!!
"Burn in Hell", Originally by Twisted Sister, Remade by Dimmu Borgir
Incredible, one of the best covers I've ever heard.
"Burn in Hell", Originally by Twisted Sister, Remade by Dimmu Borgir
Faster, heavier, and more melodic...Fans of technical metal will love this.
"Burn in Hell", Originally by Twisted Sister, Remade by Dimmu Borgir
one of the best cover songs I've EVER heard.
"Burn in hell", Originally by Twisted Sister, Remade by Dimmu Borgir
The cover I liked better then the original, Dimmu Borgir does the song in Black Metal style, shagarath sings the lead vocals in gritty but clean Black Metal style and Vortex sings the melodic high pitched melodic vocals, the original was very good too
"Burnin' Up", Originally by Madonna, Remade by Mike Watt *(ciccone Youth)
Mike Watt (minutemen, fIREHOSE, J Mascis + the Fog, Stooges renunion, etc.) does an acoustic version of this on Ciccone Youth's The Whitey Album ( a Sonic Youth side project, featuting two other 80's covers, Addicted to Love and Into the Groovey). Almost creepy. But awesome.
"Burning", Originally by Accept, Remade by Metalium
Henning Basse & co do a fantastic job on this one. A lot of people like they're version of Smoke on the Water, but this one is way better.
"Burning Down The House", Originally by Talking Heads, Remade by Carbon 12
Excellent industrial cover of a great '80's song. Check out other Carbon 12 songs if your into industrial groups like Front Line Assembly and Numb.
"Burning Inside", Originally by Ministry, Remade by Fear Factory & StaticX
This is one of those "barely fits" type things. Burning Inside was one of Ministry's first "hard" songs (they actually used to do stuff that was closer to New Order believe it or not). This is a nice remake. Skinny Puppy also did a remake about the same time that Ministry did a remake of Smothered Hope. All of these are good for the Industrial enthusiast.
"Burning Inside", Originally by Ministry, Remade by Static-X
Cool cover on Beneath...Between...Beyond...
"Burning Up", Originally by Madonna, Remade by The Rudds
Sort of an alt-country, mid-tempo rock version. Nice rendition of the song.
"Bust A Move", Originally by Young M.C., Remade by Davey Dickerson
Great cover of a rap classic, totally slowed down and done acoustic it takes on a very melancholy flavor - impressive!
"Bye Bye Love", Originally by The Cars, Remade by Alkaline Trio
"Bye Bye Love", Originally by The Cars, Remade by Alkaline Trio
This is a SWEET cover. If you like Alkaline Trio, you'll LOVE this song
"Bye Bye Love", Originally by the Cars, Remade by Alkaline Trio
I like it.
