Another good cover

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

this is an awesome cover by the oc hardcore band. its right on even the female screaming is great. must hear.

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

The best version of this song ever!!! If you are into heavy music this cover is a must have.

much better then the original at leas that's what i think

Hilarious cover. Baby Got Back being rearranged to sound like hotel lounge music. It's somethin' else.

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.

Great remake with the music sounding the same but with Howlin Pelles unique vox

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.

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.

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.

FUNNY MTV...

The DJ who played this song called this the greatest remake of a song ever. I just had to laugh.

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.

Not really a big Home Grown fan, but ,man, is this song great. Its so funny that they actually made this song tolerable.

Off the Punk Goes Metal compilation, but this cover is just nowhere near as good as the original

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.

Hearing this song played on a cello gives me a new appreciation for the cello!

She really should not have gone there! SHE SUCKS!

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.

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.

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.

eurotrance version of patti smith - huge hit in europe! not bad if you like dance music.

Really like this version much better that the 10,000 Maniacs one. Not bad for a metal version.

Dancefloor version. Pure commerce. Novaspace does a lot of other 80s cover songs as well.

this guy rocks!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Half the length of the original, but a great cover.

hate it!

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

It's obvious........ this one's better than the original. Very breathy indeed! Cathchy too!!!!

You have this song by blondie but I believe that kim carne sang the original not blondie. all the best - aislinn

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?

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."

All you hear from Vanessa is the "oooh, baa, baa, baa" in the background.

Slapshot anger this up with a hardcore version...

lol..fun and I like the little changes they made to the lyrics. The original is better but this is a good giggle.

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!).

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!

not bad,but it was more like a cool thing,it was the only song i ever haerd from them.

good song

good cover

Made me want to vomit. Thankful they're not playing it much anymore. Sounded like nails on a chalkboard. Yikes.

really shows the true emotional meaning of the song

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.

Acoustically made junk.

ex-young marble giants duo made this very good accoustic version

I was very impressed w/ Aaron Lewis's version, which was done acoustic....It gave new life to the song

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.

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

Not sure where this came from originally, but its on the Past, Present & Future CD currently in stores.

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!

From the Read to Rumble Soundtrack, but this cover is just nowhere near as good as the original

Awsesome cover!

Very excellent if you like me are highly entertained by dark covers of 80's Pop songs.

it was ok better than the original.

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.

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.

they took this song to a WHOLE new level!! Much better than the original. (not a big fan retro)

I like both versions.

Funny. That's all there is to it.

Very good but Freddy did it better

This cover is awesome!! This mexican rock/hip hop band really got this one right.

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

Very nice cover. Vocals by Dickinson (Iron Maiden's vocalist) and Caballé. They made a great work!

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).

I'm pretty sure this was released in the eighties... Awesome cover by White Zombie.

achieves the same catchiness as the original :)

A very smooth but yet industrialized cover. Four thumbs up!!

Its ok.

Hardcore. What more can I say? Possibly the greatest thrash band of all time doing perhaps the greatest rock anthem of all time.

An acoustic cover, done for a BBC Radio 1 session around February 04. Not bad, but not particularly great either

I really thought the song was good by The Cure, but it's even better with Oleander's edge on the album February Son.

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...

Performed on MTV Icon: The Cure

Awesome cover - much harder than the original.

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.

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"

Kinda Hard To Find, Good Song

a faster, more rocking version. i liked it.

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

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.

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!

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".

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!

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.

The Ataris did a decent job but it still can't beat the original.

The Ataris is one of the best bands ever, and the cover sounds fantastical

First they rip off the greatest game system of all time, now this?!

An awesome cover! Personally, I find the Ataris' version better than the original!

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!!

Great remix - even better than the original!

Cool remake, I still remember every word and catch myself singing along but I cant get used to the "Black Flag Sticker" line geez!!!!

The Ataris saw a "Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac" rather then the Dead Head sticker.

I think this version of the song is great...very modern version with harder rock n roll.

I don't think this is very good cover. They took an accoustically sound song and murdered it.

Greatr cover, and quite a different take on the song when sung by a woman

Best version i've heard, bar the original... superb vocal performance, great synth solo in place of the original guitar. Good energy, top effort.

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?

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

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."

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!

I came across this while looking for Joe Jackson songs. It's pretty damn good for Mandy Moore. She doesn't butcher it.

Not bad.

I like both versions of this song. Rob Zombie did a good job and did it a little bit different from the original.

Clay from american Idol did the song He did a good job on the song

Beats the originalby a country mile

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.

AWFUL!! One of the worst covers ever. I don't believe they even gave their permission. fortunately she didn't ruin the original song.

It's pretty good but I like the original version better

Omygod, this cover is amazing! Beautiful vocals, emotions, live band.. She really pulled this one off! Something only she could do!

This is a very little know eurodance version of 1987!.I found it on a 12" single.

I was literally sick to my stomach when I heard this.

Sounds pretty good. Not exactly a cover, as it uses different lyrics. Worth a listen tho.

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.

Heard this today in my car... It was total garbage!!!

Good cover of the original. A little upbeat.

Best cover I've ever heard of this song. Good stuff. It's NOT Shaggy. Like some files might read.

Awesome Cover of the song

great version.

Lagwagon rock, and so does this cover...

i loved the little "ska" twist! definitely better than the original!

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!

I dunno if this was an 80s song or not, but I think this is a very cool remake...very upbeat...

Awesome hard rock fix!

Sepultura plays this like they wrote it themselves. Coooool.

A great 80s metal song being covered in black metal style by genre leaders Cradle Of Filth. Great Stuff !!!!

Incredible, one of the best covers I've ever heard.

Faster, heavier, and more melodic...Fans of technical metal will love this.

one of the best cover songs I've EVER heard.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cool cover on Beneath...Between...Beyond...

Sort of an alt-country, mid-tempo rock version. Nice rendition of the song.

Great cover of a rap classic, totally slowed down and done acoustic it takes on a very melancholy flavor - impressive!

This is a SWEET cover. If you like Alkaline Trio, you'll LOVE this song

I like it.
