"take on me" and "boys don't cry"- reel big fish (a-ha, the cure)
"i melt with you"- saves the day (modern english)
"what i like about you"- suicide machines (the romantics)

if you wanted to be super rad and possibly send those four covers to me on aim (dogseatbabies) i would so be forever in love with you. :x
flowers for charlie:
the Scissor Sisters did a cover of Comfortably Numb that is at least 4,000,000 times better than the original.
also, Reel Big Fish - Take On Me, Piebald - No One Else
BlueCoatKarma:
The Radiohead cover of Wonderwall is hilarious - on the version I have they stop half way through and spend the last 15 seconds of the song talking about how bad it is and joking about it.
Distorted Penguins did a hilarious cover of the theme from Ghostbusters.
flowers for charlie:
"it's always good to make fun of Oasis, though, so..."
"they don't mind it."
aekastar:
I wasn't sure I was that into covers till I began typing out this list and I even think I may have forgotten some; I just looked up the discs I knew had what I liked -- most coming from a double disc mix a friend made me a couple years ago... eesh:
arab strap - You Shook Me All Night Long (AC/DC) [it was on their live disc The Cunted Circus]
Ben Folds - Tiny Dancer (Elton John)
Bettie Serveert - Take Me Away From Here (Belle & Sebastian)
Chris Coco feat. Nick Cave - Sunday Morning (Velvet Underground) [well, with some lyric changes.. it's trippy]
dream academy - please please please let me get what I want [The Smiths]
Low - Fearless (Pink Floyd)
Mt. Eerie - Undo (Björk)
My Bloody Valentine - we have all the time in the world (Louis Armstrong)
Pavement - The Killing Moon (Echo & The Bunnymen)
The 6ths - I'm Only Human (Human League)
The Sundays - Wild Horses (I forgot who the original is..)
The Sunshine Fix - a day in the life (The Beatles)
Twilight Singers - feeling of gaze, too tough to die and the live version of Hey Ya (Hope Sandoval, Topley-Bird, Outkast)
Type O Negative - Possession (Sarah McLachlan)
Weezer - Velouria (Pixies)
and most covers from the Morr compilation for Slowdive (if y'all don't know and are a fan of Slowdive, purchase 'Blue Skied an' Clear.. the whole first disc is dedicated to Slowdive covers.. excellent! some of them better than the original)
[ETA: I should note that some I do not think are *better* than the original, but more 'different' thus I like both versions equally.. not for all, but some.. like B&S, Pixies and Slowdive]
