Eighties Cover Songs, Songs Beginning with D

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.

"Damage Incorporated", Originally by Metallica, Remade by Napalm Death
excellent song, it was made by some death metal band which had barney from napalm death doing the vocals on it. it was good, i got in downloaded from www.winmx.com so go there if you wanna hear it.
"Dancing Bearfoot", Originally by Patti Smith, Remade by The Feelies
"Dancing Bearfoot", Originally by Patti Smith, Remade by Xymox
OMG!!! I didn't actually know that U2 or anyone else (including the original artist) had done this song. Xymox's version is about 100 times more sensual, enchanting, and chanting IMHO. I love Xymox anyhow...Their female singer for this bit makes Patti sound like Stimpy...
"Dancing In The Dark", Originally by Bruce Springsteen, Remade by Pete Yorn
It's sweet, folksy, and lonely, without the humming dance beats and MTV posing. You can tell Yorn put effort into this, and it pays off. Basically, this is the way Springsteen should've played it - and he would have if it were issued on any album except "Born in the U.S.A."
"Dancing Queen", Originally by ABBA, Remade by Jennifer Love Hewitt
What was Love thinking? I know that ABBA is back in vogue, but some people just weren't born to cover their songs.
"Dancing Queen", Originally by ABBA, Remade by Sixpenser None The Richier
Good cover of this song, full of acoustic guitars and females voices.
"Dancing With Myself", Originally by Billy Idol, Remade by Guttermouth
I love Guttermouth, they did a f***ing great job, you can listen to the version on their website www.xxx-guttermouth-xxx.com.
"Dancing With Myself", Originally by Billy Idol, Remade by Green Day
The Green Day cover is much better than Blink 182's (Billie Joe can nail the Billy Idol voice much more accurately) but it's pretty similar to the original anyway.
"Dancing With Myself", Originally by Billy Idol, Remade by Blink182
"Dancing With Myself", Originally by Billy Idol, Remade by Blink 182
awesome remake
"Dancing With Myself", Originally by Billy Idol, Remade by Blink-182
yeah its great mark and tom pull of very high pitched singing in it along with a nice joke at the end.
"Dangerous Type", Originally by The Cars, Remade by Letters to Cleo
(on the Craft soundtrack along with "How Soon is Now" (The Smiths/Love Spit Love) and "I Have the Touch" (Peter Gabriel/Heather Nova). Tess and I both agree that this is probably one of the cooler The Cars covers to be found and easily the best cover on the soundtrack. While the Love Spit Love version of "How Soon is Now" is good, the deviation from the original is minimal and Heather Nova simply butchered Peter Gabriel.
"Daniel", Originally by Elton John, Remade by Fuel
Amazing acoustic cover. One of the best covers ever made.
"Danny's Song", Originally by Anne Murray, Remade by Me First
Probably the greatest cover song of all time
"Dare to be Stupid", Originally by Weird Al Yankovic, Remade by Techmo Super Bowl
Saw 'em play it live. Needed a little work, but what was there sounded pretty good. Covering Weird Al is just plain cool. Dare to be Stupid makes a pretty good rock song.
"Darlene", Originally by Dolly Parton, Remade by The White Stripes
The new one's pretty damn good!
"Darling Nikki", Originally by Prince, Remade by Rebecca Romijn Stamos
great,alt sound,really sexy still & laid back but still rocks.worth a listen definately,different 2 FooFighter's cover,which rocks seriously!
"Darling Nikki", Originally by Prince, Remade by Foo Fighters
This was a great song to begin with, but after hearing the Foo Fighters remake now I think it rocks.
"Darling Nikki", Originally by Prince, Remade by Foo Fighters
I think Prince is King and didn't think I could love a Prince song by anyone else. The first time I heard the Foos version of this sexy song I wasn't quite sure about it. But they really managed to put their own twist on it while keeping it true to Prince's original creation. If you have only heard it once, give it another listen. It starts to grow on you and is actually pretty good.
"Darling Nikki", Originally by Prince, Remade by Dishwalla
heard them do it live a few times,at first i wasn't too impressed,but then it started to grow on me,know i think they do a great version of it,some things just take time.
"Darling Nikki", Originally by Prince, Remade by Foo Fighters
At first I was taken aback by the alternative/punk rock style of the remake, but after listening to the whole thing on the radio, I realized it really rips.
"Darling Nikki", Originally by Prince, Remade by Dishwalla
heard them do it live a few times,at first i wasn't too impressed,but then it started to grow on me,know i think they do a great version of it,some things just take time.
"Day After Day", Originally by Badfinger, Remade by Savatage
Off an early Savatage album (Power of the Night or Fight For the Rock?) and a well done remake. Sounds very close to the original with a bit more guitars. But I'm a Savatage fan too...
"Day After Day", Originally by Badfinger, Remade by Exotic Birds
A cool techno-ish version of this song put out by this rare group. If you want to hear some up beat pre-Pretty Hate Machine trentamentals then find this album.
"Day Of The Lords", Originally by Joy Division, Remade by Honeymoon Stitch
VERY. VERY. GOOD. I absolutely love it.
"Day Tripper", Originally by The Beatles, Remade by Type O Negative
A little slower and a lot darker sounding then the beatles. It actually has some other beatles songs mixed into parts of it. Not great but decent.
"Day Tripper", Originally by Beatles, Remade by Daniel Ash
Hey, for an ex Love and Rockets singer what can you say? It's a bit alternative (80s speaking not currently) in its sound. I'll take this over the poor punk version anytime.
"Dead Souls", Originally by Joy Division, Remade by Spiral Of Silence
Pretty good cover. Starts off sounding like a techno song, but sways towards rock.
"Dear God", Originally by XTC, Remade by Tricky
"Dear God", Originally by XTC, Remade by Shootyz Groove
Great cover song by a rock/hip-hop band!
"Dear Prudence", Originally by The Beatles, Remade by Siouxsie and the Banshees
A vast improvement on the Beatles version, which will forever be mistakenly remembered as Banshees original, just as Tainted Love is considered a Soft Cell song.
"Death Comes Ripping", Originally by Misfits, Remade by Cradle Of Filth
agian, very good but nobody can do it better than the misfits.
"Der Kommissar", Originally by Falco, Remade by After The Fire
I thought both were great, but if the music vids are anything to go by, I'd pick Falco's any day.
"Der Mussolini", Originally by DAF, Remade by Atrocity
A metal version of DAF's 80s NDW song by the German band "Atrocity". From their album "Werk 80", which contains a whole bunch of great metal versions of popular 80s songs.
"Desperado", Originally by The Eagles, Remade by Garth Brooks
The Garth Brooks redo of this song is excellent. Bringing it down a half-step makes it much easier for the lower voices like mine to sing. Excellently redone!
"Desperado", Originally by The Eagles, Remade by Clint Black
I think Clint Black does a better rendition only because I'm a country fan. Check it out and see for yourself
"Destination Unknown", Originally by Missing Persons, Remade by Erectus Monotone
Very fuzzed out, spastic and brilliant. It retains all of the spacey feel of the original, without any of the synth-pop touches. Erectus Monotone was a guitar band, and this cover is quite worth your time. Very nice.
"Destination Unknown", Originally by Missing Persons, Remade by the Replicants
(Technically this is a cover band even though all members are from "real" bands; i.e. Tool & Failure). This really sounds almost completely different from the original which was probably the intent. Very industrial and the best part is the alien abduction sequence.
"Detroit Rock City", Originally by KISS, Remade by Mighty Mighty Bosstones
A great song to begin with, the Bosstones add heavier guitars and their horns section to make it even better.
"Detroit Swing City", Originally by Kiss, Remade by Alien Fashion Show (NOT the cherry poppin daddies)
One of the best swing songs ever, so crediting it to the wrong band is a shame. Alien Fashion Show apparently broke up, which is also a shame because they had a tremendous amount of talent.
"Detroit Swing City", Originally by Kiss, Remade by Cherry Poppin Daddies
Excelent cover of "Detroit Rock City", more brass, more swing! Big band's style
"The Devil Went Down To Georgia", Originally by Charlie Daniels Band, Remade by Lynn Anderson
Actually Charlie Daniels covered Lynn's version..Its a great twist to hear a woman sing this..its realy good...but very hard to find
"Devil Went Down To Georgia", Originally by The Charlie Daniels Band , Remade by The Levellers
A storming version, faster & harder and much more fun to dance to!
"Devil Went Down To Georgia", Originally by Charlie Daniels Band, Remade by Primus
amazing remake
"The Devil Went Down to Georgia", Originally by The Charlie Daniels Band, Remade by Toy Dolls
A really good hard and faster punk cover with great solos. The main difference is the title change from Georgia to Scornthrope and a golden guitar instead of a fiddle.
"Didn't Mean To Turn You On", Originally by Robert Palmer, Remade by Mariah Carey
I actually liked it!! I LOVE 80's music, and I actually look to see if anyone can do it any justice by covering an 80's song. They usually don't but it's always nice to hear and critique it. I love Robert Palmer and I love Mariah. I liked her verion of it. It is on the "Glitter" movie Soundtrack.
"Die Without You", Originally by PM Dawn, Remade by Brandy And Ray Jay
good cover. they work good together
"Die, Die My Darling", Originally by Misfits, Remade by NOFX, Metallica
The orginal was recorded by Misfits
"Die, Die My Darling", Originally by Misfits, Remade by Metallica
It pretty much kicks a**. By the way, INXS did not do this song originally, and to the best of my knowledge Everclear has not covered it, as it shows in the list.
"Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap)", Originally by AC/DC, Remade by Joan Jett
What is it with Joan Jett and covering songs? And, more to the point, what it is about her that makes the covers so GOOD? Oh, it's not AS good as AC/DC's original...but it's kick-ass for an early 90s song.
"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", Originally by AC/DC, Remade by Exodus
Amazing, Exodus is a great thrash band, and they did a great job, the vocals even sound similar!
"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", Originally by AC/DC, Remade by Scream
Didn`t think a chick could sing like bon until I heard this its magic
"Dirty Laundry", Originally by Don Henley, Remade by Lisa Marie Presley
awsome remake/ the kings daughter carves her own place in the books great song
"Disco Band", Originally by Scotch, Remade by Evolution
"Disintegration", Originally by The Cure, Remade by Converge
amazing. way better than the original. mellower in parts, heavier in others. very emotional. a must-listen.
"Disintegration", Originally by The Cure, Remade by Razed in Black
a great cover of a great song
"Do Me Baby", Originally by Prince, Remade by Melisa Morgan
I think that both versions are classics, but Melisa's sounds a lot better to me. The strange thing is that Prince's version was recorded in the early 1980s and Melisa released her's in 1986, as both are 1980s records. Both are soulful efforts and speaks well of their artistry.
"Do The Strand", Originally by Roxy Music, Remade by Alphaville
What can I say - I liked the original, but I just loved the cover! They've put a great deal of experimentation and so much energy in the new version that one simply can't resist "dancing on moonbeams" while listening to this bright composition!
"Do They Know It's Christmas", Originally by Band-Aid, Remade by Deftones
Way better than that weepy, poor me version. This rocks.
"Do They Know It's Christmas?", Originally by Band-Aid, Remade by BNL, Guster, and Dido
I thought Band-Aid was better...perhaps a little more sincere too, since there was a major drought in Africa in 1984
"Do Ya Think 'm Sexy", Originally by Rod Stewart, Remade by N-Trance
Great beat! If you like your songs to have a good solid ethic dance sound, this is perfect!
"Do Ya Think I'm Sexy", Originally by Rod Stewart, Remade by Paris Hilton
No offense intended, but Paris' vapid, borderline copyright-infringing rendition is, according to mathematical calculations performed by powerful university computers, is only one ten-thousandth as good as Rod's cool version. (Anyhoo, the original was really, really awesome.)
"Do Ya Think I'm Sexy", Originally by Rod Stewart, Remade by Hoobastank
This is also a decent remake of the original.
"Do Ya Think Im Sexy", Originally by Rod Stewert, Remade by N Trance
"Do You Know Where You're Going To? (Mahogany)", Originally by Diana Ross, Remade by Pinhead Gunpowder
Well, as far as sounding nothing like the original, I'm glad. I think the original is a horribly boring 60s song, and I didn't even know this was a cover until my mother was singing along and told me it was. The cover is MUCH more interesting.
"Do You Know Where Your Going 2-Theme From Mahogany", Originally by Diana Ross, Remade by Jennifer Lopez
I actually think both version of the song are great and they are both breath taking.
"Do You Really Want To Hurt Me", Originally by Culture Club, Remade by Less Than Jake
A very good cover, better than the original. But it's not really a big surprise, Less than jake is a great band (just listen to it's other stuff).
"Doctor My Eyes", Originally by Jackson Browne, Remade by Ben Folds
The Jackson Browne version is definately better, but I'd have to say Ben Folds beats Jackson on piano.
"Don't Change", Originally by INXS, Remade by The Goo Goo Dolls
I was VERY skeptical at first (the original is a classic), but I give kudos to The Goo Goo Dolls for keeping the basic "flava" of the song while retaining their own sound.
"Don't Change", Originally by INXS, Remade by Grinspoon
Excellent version of a classic song of the 80's
"Don't Change", Originally by INXS, Remade by Goo Goo Dolls
Pretty good remake; they made it sound like their own...
"Don't Dream It's Over", Originally by Crowded House, Remade by Sixpense None the Richer
Much sweeter and cuter than the original. I still like the original MUCH better though - its a classic.
"Don't Dream It's Over", Originally by Crowded House, Remade by Six Feet Under
How strange is this cover?
"Don't Dream It's Over", Originally by Crowded House, Remade by Sixpence None The Richer
A very good cover and just modern enough for a new generation to enjoy it
"Don't Dream It's Over", Originally by Crowded House, Remade by Paul Young
"Don't Dream It's Over", Originally by Crowded House, Remade by Sixpence None The Richer
Funny thing, I don't recall the Dixie Chicks ever covering Crowded House, but I do recall Sixpence None The Richer covering Crowded House. It's a very good cover at that.
"Don't Dream It's Over", Originally by Crowded House, Remade by Sixpence None The Richer
A couple years ago, I heard Crowded House's 1987 hit, "Don't Dream It's Over" and they recently remade that song by Sixpence None The Richer. But like the Crowded House better. So I got "Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House. I got an 80's CD for Easter 2003 with Crowded House's, "Don't Dream It's Over" on it. I like the original song better.
"Don't Dream It's Over", Originally by Crowded House, Remade by Sixpence None The Richer
"Don't Dream It's Over", Originally by Croweded House, Remade by Kids Incorporated, Sixpence None The Richer
It was good.
"Don't Dream It's Over", Originally by Crowded House, Remade by Dixie Chicks
Okay, but the original by Crowded House and the cover by Sixpence none the Richer are better.
"Don't Fear (The Reaper)", Originally by Blue Oyster Cult, Remade by The Mutton Birds
Can be found on "The Frighteners" soundtrack.
"Don't Fear The Reaper", Originally by Blue Oyster Cult , Remade by Goo goo Dolls
This is a very punky version its off the goo goo dolls first album, before they became very popular.
"Don't Fear The Reaper", Originally by Blue Oyster Cult Band, Remade by Eliott Smith
I saw an Elliott Smith show on Halloween a few years ago and he did this cover as part of an encore. It was such a fun cover.
"Don't Fear The Reaper", Originally by Blue Oyster Cult, Remade by HIM
A cool gothic version of this great song. From the album "Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666", released quite some time before the gothic scandinavian band HIM became teen idols!
"Don't Fear The Reaper", Originally by Blue Oyster Cult, Remade by Apollo 440
Excellent! AS good as the original if not better. Has a techno/dance beat to it. Worth a listen, especially if you like techno!
"Don't Fear the Reaper", Originally by Blue Oyster Cult, Remade by Gus
Slowed down quite a bit. A very good acoustic cover. I believe this version was on the Scream Soundtrack.
"Don't Give Up", Originally by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush, Remade by Maire Brennan and Michael McDonald
It's obvious that Michael doesn't have the range of voice that Kate has. And Maire should stick to her Clannad.
"Don't Go", Originally by Yazoo, Remade by Atrocity
A metal version of this song by the German band "Atrocity". From their album "Werk 80", which contains a whole bunch of great metal versions of popular 80s songs. One of the weaker songs on this album, horrible voice.
"Don't Let Me Down", Originally by Beatles, Remade by Stereophonics
it's even better than original version.this because of the good recording technology(i believe)
"Don't Pay The Ferryman", Originally by Chris DeBurgh, Remade by Dark At Dawn
A heavy metal remake of Chris DeBurghs big hit. This song works well as a metal song.
"Don't Turn Around ", Originally by Luther Ingram , Remade by Bonnie Tyler
"Don't Turn Around ", Originally by Luther Ingram , Remade by Aswad
"Don't Turn Around ", Originally by Luther Ingram , Remade by Tina Turner
"Don't Turn Around ", Originally by Luther Ingram , Remade by Ace Of Base
"Don't Wanna Be The One", Originally by Midnight Oil, Remade by Grinspoon
This song sorta sucks but i still love grinspoon
"Don't You (Forget About Me)", Originally by Simple Minds, Remade by Billy Idol
Billy recorded it for a recent greatest-hits compilation. Ironically, the Breakfast Club producers originally offered the song to him before Simple Minds.
"Don't You (Forget About Me)", Originally by Simple Minds, Remade by Life of Agony
Very excellent if you like me are highly entertained by dark covers of 80's Pop songs.
"Don't You (Forget About Me) ", Originally by Simple Minds, Remade by Sprung Monkey
It was pretty good Rock Version of it!! It's on the "Not Another Teen Movie" DVD Check it out!!
"Don't You Forget About Me", Originally by Simple Minds , Remade by Bouncing Souls
Sounds like bad karaoke I wish I could forget.
"Don't You Forget About Me", Originally by Simple Minds, Remade by Billy Idol
Just redone recently, not bad at all.
"Don't You Forget About Me", Originally by Simple Minds, Remade by Rufio
A pretty good punk cover if I do say so myself.
"Don't You Forget About Me", Originally by Simple Minds, Remade by Bouncing Souls
Not really much different, except the trumpets??
"Don't You Forget About Me", Originally by Simple Minds, Remade by Life Of Agony
Very Good. Off The Album "ugly." I Like This Band Alot And It Is Rumored They Are Coming Out With A New Album After A Break-up.
"Don't You Forget About Me", Originally by Simple Minds, Remade by Life of Agony
very creepy, very dark, kind of like something you would hear in a Vampire movie.
"Don't You Forget About Me", Originally by Simple Minds, Remade by Sprung Monkey
i can't beleive no one posted this song!! this is a rock version of the song and it's alot better than the original!! worth a listen!!
"Don't You Want Me, Baby", Originally by Human League, Remade by Mandy
A pretty bad late 80's Stock Aitken Waterman cover of the Human League chart topper. It gave Mandy Smith who's married to one of the Rolling Stones her only UK chart entry. Like the mid 90's Stock and Aitken version with Tatijana, Mandy sings the whole song with a few word changes. Still sounds a bit daft.
"Don't You Want Me, Baby", Originally by Human League, Remade by Future Bible Heroes
It's a tribute, very straight-up, so it's not too interesting. Stephin Merritt sings what was originally the female part, so we get a tiny bit of gender role swapping fun.
"Don't You Want Me, Baby", Originally by Human League, Remade by Alcazar
Pretty dull new disco remake by Alcazar who come from Sacandinavia.
"Don't You Want Somebody To Love", Originally by Jefferson Airplane, Remade by Jim Carrey
This Version Rox and all the info he says in it is coreect about the rolling stones concert where they had hell's angels as security but it uberly ROX!
"Dont Change", Originally by INXS, Remade by Grinspoon
Good
"Dont Dream Its Over", Originally by Crowded House, Remade by Nowhere Fast
"Dont Let The Sun Go Down On Me", Originally by Elton John, Remade by Me First And The Gimmie Gimmies
"Dos Gardenias", Originally by Buena Vista Social Club, Remade by Latin Lovers
Latin house, An excellent song
"Doubts Even Here", Originally by New Order, Remade by Harry
Comes off of the Brazilian tribute "Essence". Hard, industrial sound, speeds the song up and goes good on the dancefloor. Great job really.
"Down In The Park", Originally by Gary Numan, Remade by Foo Fighters
I think they did a great job covering this song. Dave Grohl has an energy about him that's not like I've ever seen before.
"Down In The Park", Originally by Gary Numan, Remade by Foo Fighters
I love the cover
"Down Under", Originally by Men at Work, Remade by Pennywise
Awful "surf's up, big baggy jeans with chains hanging off, wise-cracking fat drummer, we do speeded-up versions of the Beach Boys, we don't take the whole stupid music business seriously" version of an 80's classic which, if the technology had existed at the time, would have been formatted 'Read Only'.
"Down Under", Originally by Men at Work, Remade by Colin Hay
Front man from Men at Work doing an acoustic cover of his own band's song...and it's a thousand times better than the original! Only available on a recent solo CD.
"Down Under", Originally by Men At Work, Remade by Pennywise
From the Austrailian release of their Straight Ahead, this is an awesome punk rock cover.
"Down in the park", Originally by Gary Numan, Remade by Violent Fems
i think the Violent Fems did the best job! (Other than the orig.)
"Downbound Train", Originally by Bruce Springsteen, Remade by Raul Malo
Mavericks lead singer tears up Bruce's song in fine Mavericks fashion. Awesome.
"A Dream", Originally by DeBarge, Remade by Mary J. Blige
Blige's Version of "A Dream" added some gospel punch.
"Dream On", Originally by Aerosmith, Remade by Eminem
Really hate eminem for this,by thw way I hated him even before,but know he crossed the line. He have taken allmost the whole track to his track "sing for the moment"
"Dream On", Originally by Aerosmith, Remade by Ronnie James Dio And Yngwie Malmsteen
Cool cover but malmsteen is malmsteen with his extra guitar riffs and what not, but cool none the less.
"Dream On/Sing For The Moment", Originally by Areosmith, Remade by Eminem
One of the best rap covers out. Some of his best work.
"Dreaming", Originally by Blondie, Remade by The Smashing Pumpkins
This Songs a Great cover it comes out on the Areoplane Flies High Box set
"Dreams", Originally by Fleetwood Mac, Remade by Letters to Cleo
This is a pretty good cover of the song. Kay Hanley's beautiful voice makes it an amazing new version.
"Dreams", Originally by Fleetwood Mac, Remade by Corrs, Paul Hardcastle, whoever
Yes they covered it, but no, it's NOT an 80's song. (Try 1977)
"Dreams", Originally by Fleetwood Mac, Remade by The Corrs
mmmmm....
"Dreams", Originally by Fleetwood Mac, Remade by Paul Hardcastle
Another smooth cover, not bad...
"Drift Away", Originally by Dobie Gray, Remade by Uncle Kracker
Kraker clearly appreciated Gray as an influence, and made a faithful variation on this classic. While there are heavier percussion and guitars, they're not so much to obtrusive. If you liked the original (which you should) you'll like this.
"Drift Away", Originally by Doby Gray, Remade by Uncle Kracker
I think it may just be the old fart talking but I think Doby's version of this song is a lot better than Uncle Kracker's version but both versions off this song are not without their individual merrits.
"Drive", Originally by The Cars, Remade by The Strawpeople
Bic Runga is a kiwi artist, and her version is done with keyboard and drum machine. She has a lovely voice and
"Drive", Originally by The Cars, Remade by Los Umbrellos
"Drive", Originally by The Cars, Remade by Scorpions
From the album Acoustica
"Drive", Originally by The Cars, Remade by Ziggy Marley
I was floored by Ziggy's version of this song. He added a little bit of a reggae twist to it and pulled it off nicely. Now, even though I LOVED Ziggy's version, the original will always be tops.
"Dust In The Wind", Originally by Kansas, Remade by Scorpions
From the album Acoustica
"Dust in the Wind", Originally by Kansas, Remade by Eric Benet
Great R & B cover of the song. It's on his CD- A Day in the Life.
"Dust in the Wind (Pensando en Ti)", Originally by Kansas, Remade by Mago de Oz
This is an excellent version especially that it is in spanish. It is by far the greatest remake I have heard so far of this classic song. The lirics are different so the content of the song has changed. "Pensando en ti" (Thinking of you) has changed "Dust in the wind" to more of a love song which still has the same emotional effect as the original.
