A common one is hurt by johnny cash

[Electric Cupcake]

Several Chipmunk covers. I'm completely serious.

The instrumentals in MJ's Beat It and the Cars' Let's Go are way better, for example.

Most originals are hard to beat, but there are exceptions. SAXON do some great covers that don't need to fear comparison with the original in my opinion.


Christopher Cross - Ride Like The Wind (Original)

SAXON - Ride Like the Wind

That's a different song, but yeah it's freaking awesome. I love Nightwish, have seen them live with Tarja.

I got over excited when I saw the title... Duh for me!

I'm watching your link now. It's a pretty good version. I really dig the early Paul Dianno version but this still works
