Greatest Remake Songs Ever
# 1- Chambers Bros. "Time Has Come" redone by the Ramones. (I personally witnessed this in a club in D.C.)
#2 Sweet Jane by Velvet Underground redone by Cowboy Junkies. (Hard to improve on the best but they did it) #3-Lauryn Hills remake of Roberts Flacks' Killing Me Softly. Actually, this should probably be #1. Thoughts????

Will there ever be a better cover than The Lemonheads doing "Mrs. Robinson"?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvMFm...om=PL&index=13 Cake's version of "I Will Survive" is terrific... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VOMDAgWbOA "Dear Prudence" done by Siouxsie & The Banshees... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_Qe8d95vCc And how about Black Crows' version of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09WlrVnramo Slightly obscure, but I thought No Doubt did a good take on Talk Talk's "It's My Life" which I always liked... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1phL7LxfEcs Take Me to the River Al Green (on Soul Train!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tgm7v284JI Talking Heads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2ChrFeFZzY

Hendrix "Watchtower..." has to be on the list.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCwCBh0z3Hs Declan McManus's version of "Peace Love and Understanding.." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XYFJUP84lE This is the version he did when he hosted Letterman The Clash "I fought the Law....." still forces my feet to move....a sight at my age to be amused by. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16u0wwCfoJ4 Bruce's version is pretty cool....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge2B9WO5i6c

never a cure fan but thought they did a great job covering hendrix.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq2JED0V8kk tracy chapman doing house of the rising sun. i think one of the better versions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0M-Ck5USQc i don't get the love of note for note covers. i think both of these took an old song a new direction.

The two most obvious ones were mentioned by Doc, Watchtower and I fought the law.
I also like the Flying Lizards version of Money.
