Best Covers you have heard ?

Adsta · 15 Jun 2009 at 16:25

Ok recently there was a thread with the worse covers songs you have heard. I thought why not have a best covers you have heard.

Boy Kill Boy did a cover of Joe Jacksons It's Different for Girls. I quite liked that

I can't think of any other good ones off the top of my head.

Why not share yours

I don't know whether it really counts as a cover, but FNM's version of "Pokerface" on Friday night was amazing....Strange, but it was loads better than Lady GaGa's version.

I'd agree as well - its was a good cover. Though the choreography in the original was the best i've seen

My favourite cover, and I'll probably get slated for this:

Heard this quite a few times now and think its fantastic. Some of their other covers are good too
