Pretty much everything the Beatles
Zappa did some pretty rad stuff with covers
SRV Little Wing
Girls Just want to have fun - Cyndi Lauper

Best timed cigarette toss ever and IMO way better than the recorded Beatles version

How many people still don't know it was George Harrison who did this pretty #1 hit in the late 80s?

Los Angeles~California!
i just gotta throw in this lil' titt~ie, as it was 1st recorded in '33, made popular in '64:
i ain't never heard that original, but ah, this cover!!!:

"There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
Where many poor boys to destruction has gone
And me, oh God, are one."
:beer:


edit: add~in:
1 more oldie for ya, this 1st recorded in '55, for a lil' known prison film called Unchained,
this is a pretty sick live version of it, from '65, a favorite:
:cool:
