BEST Remake Of A Song Ever

[Parche]

Phil Collins 'You Cant Hurry Love'

[Tommy_Carcetti]

1. Johnny Cash's Hurt

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go

The original Nine Inch Nails was great as it is. Cash's is even better.

[dawgmom]

3. I second that

Haunting. Completely and utterly haunting. The video makes me cry every time.

[TZ]

11. Yep.

The emotion packed into that song is incredible..you can really feel how relevant that song is to him personally.

[Bake]

17. It's because you know Johnny Cash LIVED that pain.

And it all comes out in his voice.

Bake

[Amerigo Vespucci]

32. It all comes out in the video, too...

...the juxtaposition between the Johnny Cash singing the song and the archive footage of a "Folsom Prison / San Quentin"-era Johnny and June romping about was just as chilling as the song itself...especially since he'd just lost her.

Trent Reznor may have written the song, but he gave up ownership the minute Cash wrapped his pipes around it.

:patriot:

[Burma Jones]

12. Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding

we have a winner

[azmouse]

2. Van Halen's remake of You Really Got Me

The Kinks version has to be one of the worst songs ever...

[Symarip]

5. Oingo Boingo

blew both versions away.

[dawgmom]

10. Bangles' "Hazy Shade of Winter"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFRx4PkXeVM

Or possibly Siouxsie & The Banshees' "Dear Prudence"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_Qe8d95vCc

[MissMillie]

15. The Bangles did a bang-up job w/ that one

I also like UB40's version of "Can't Help Falling in Love" (you know, the Elvis song)

and I think that when Sting added a saxaphone to "Little Wing" (Hendrix) he made that song new.


Gotta love Aretha Franklin's "R-E-S-P-E-C-T"

[SteppingRazor]

13. That can't be, as it's physically impossible for Phil Collins to have a best anything. n/t

[guitar man]

14. When it comes to covering Beatles tunes

and doing it it live to boot, it's tough to beat the Fab Faux...

I Am The Walrus

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lknCpGbsJc

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5BDZpVMQ_w&feature=related

The Sidewinders cover of "Solitary Man", which turns a cheesy Neil Diamond song into an angry squall of Crazy Horse-meets-Nirvana feedback. Sorry, can't find it online.
