Not all cover songs are awesome, some are downright ghastly  :cry:

Some however, fall nothing short of amazing...
Post a song or two you feel has been done justice!

Starting with an amazing African cover of The Beatles's "Don't Let Me Down":

Ensiferum covering Uriah Heep
 
Still this for me, some dude named Greg del Giudice's cover of the song Ocean by John Butler Trio:

Anyone know any good ones for In A Gadda Da Vida? The riff has potential, but the vocals annoy me.
 
I've found that I have waaaayy too many cover songs/remixes. And enjoy waaay too many of 'em, especially if they take the song into a completely new genre, **** Cheese as an excellent example. A good portion of 'em tend to be better than (or at least as enjoyable as) the originals. But that doesn't really make 'em be classified as "awesome" yet. :wink:

(Adding these as they come to mind)

But first, I suppose Pig With the Face of a Boy - A Complete History of the Soviet Union Through the Eyes of a Humble Worker, Arranged to the Melody of Tetris counts as a cover. And it's most def. awesome. :grin:

Representing the bulk of OCremix, djpretzel - Gerudo Interlude

Continuing along game song covers, Tony Dickinson - Hell March to the Apocalypse (2 Guitar Arrangement)

Would be a disservice to the thread to not link more **** Cheese though: Rape Me

More gametune covers, it seems! Machinae Supremacy - The Great Giana Sisters

Bluegrass! Jussi Syren - Wings of a Butterfly

And last but definitely not the least, They Might Be Giants - Istanbul (Not Constantinople)
