Britney Spears?

The Breeders' version of Sebadoh's "Freed Pig" is really good - faster, more chaotic.

Electric Eel's cover of 'Dead Man's Curve' is incredible

Kermit the Frog, "Kokomo"

Slight waffles for replacing "gives me a tropical contact high" with the more kiddie-appropriate "under a tropical island sky", and for not being Jim Henson.

devo's "satisfaction" if i haven't already said it.

Jesus I have to agree. It's pretty eerie how cold this cover is.

Rage Against the Machine does some really good late '80s rap covers on that covers album of theirs, but their cover of "Down on the Street" is an abortion.

Did anyone mention Fudge Tunnel's Cat Scratch Fever?

I'm a sucker for some good Bob covers. Especially:.

Garcia's take on She Belongs to Me

and

Link Wray's Girl from the North Country

Meat Puppets version of Tumblin' Tumbleweeds

Red House Painters version of Wings' Silly Love Songs. Well it sounds like it gonna be a cover of Cortez The Killer until the vocals start.

Everly Brothers 1968 cover of their own late '50 B-side 'I Wonder if I care as Much" ,similarly Slint's second released version of Rhoda pisses on their first one

Psychotic Reaction by Count 5 as interpreted by Eugene Chadbourne's Shockabilly

Nina Simone and/or Flying Burrito Bros. version of "You Don't Know what it's Like"

Dinosaur Jr's version of "Chunks"is better than Last Rights even though they play it straight as can be.

um....

Gunna go out on a limb here: (It's A Man's Man's) Man's World by The Residents.
