Drowning Pool’s Bodies done by Psychostick.

Thin Lizzy - whiskey in the jar

The placemats - black diamond

Manfred Mann - blinded by the light

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World

Alkaline Trio’s cover of ‘Rooftops’ by Hot Water Music. So much more anger and release.

The classic Whitney Houston singing I Will Always Love You.

Pretty much every song in Elite Beat Agents. Tbf, they get a very interactive emotional buildup to each song. Some examples:

• September
• Canned Heat
• You’re the Inspiration
• The Anthem
• Jumping Jack Flash

I’ll go with Common People, the Will Shatner version.

Gamma Ray’s «It’s a Sin» (original by Pet Shop Boys)

Animal (the muppets) - wipeout

Can’t hear it without getting cheered up. Never fails.

Zebraheads cover of Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne.

Well, maybe not better, but worth to mention, leo has to appear somewhere in this post:

Sultans of Swing metal cover by Leo Moracchioli (feat. Mary Spender)

Judas priest - diamonds and rust

Cake - I will Survive

Mad World

I was shocked when I finally heard the original after hearing like 3 or 4 covers of it first. Tears for Fears’ original version is just… It’s not bad, but it’s the least good version of that song. Lol.

Pet Shop Boys, Always on my mind, IMHO much better than the Elvis Presley original.
