Best Cover I've heard in a long time
(United States)

I'd just about forgotten about this one, I hadn't heard it in such a long time. Viva Las Vegas by the Dead Kennedys.

Here's a video with the song playing in the background:

Thanks, Xaak, I really enjoyed that. I had forgotten the Kennedys had done that song.

I'll try to find vids of my favorite covers.

I don't think I can name a single favorite so here is a few:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x01T9il47Q (Replacements covering Hank William's "Hey Good Lookin'")

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10C68Gzd5GM (Cake covering Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive")

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXuMx55PTgQ (Cake covering Bread's "Guitar Man")

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GZ2IsN9U2M (Not my favorite, but amazing kids Still Pending covering Green Day's "Stop Spinning")

Okay the worst cover ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjeMDvCdrtc

I kinda dug Disturbd's take on Genesis' Land of Confusion. there are so many that this one just stuck out as a recent great in my mind.

I beg to differ, the worst cover ever has to be William Shatner doing Mr Tamborine Man. Not that Dylan's singing was much better, but...
