5. Someone had to do the obvious

One of the greatest covers ever.

Here's some others...

Voivod's hilarious cover of the theme song to the corny old Batman TV show
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbZpFXvj2g0
I don't know what's better: the tribal drums or the fact that the singer sounds really bored.

"Land of Confusion" by Disturbed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KW8DRSvEoQ
The original came across as a plea to the public to set things right. This cover is a call to arms, and the meaning of the video images are unmistakable.

"Louie Louie" by Motorhead
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDP7_h4wkgw
Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that Lemmy's pronunciation/enunciation is easier to understand than the venerated Kindsmen version?

"Word Up" by Korn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q-k-uN73Gk
I know, I know. The ironic cover is terribly cliche, but this one never fails to make me smile.

"Dead Souls" by Nine Inch Nails
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOBV2Zl2cNs
What is so creepy about the original is that when you listen to it, you can hear in the singer's voice the madness and torment that led him to commit suicide shortly after the song was recorded. Trent Reznor preserved the anguish of the vocals, but with slicker production and added a native American vibe to the instrumentation.

"Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" by The Revolting Cocks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy-7lUqPr8w
As one reviewer put it, they managed to make a relatively innocent question sound like a threat.

"Only (Richard X Remix)" Nine Inch Nails
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2FnQQnil5w
This is a remix, not a cover, but that repetitive xylophone line gets into under your skin and into your feet.

"Higher Ground" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2FnQQnil5w
One of the all-time great covers.

Eh, I better stop here. I could keep going all day.
