(1 GET) Any good remakes?

[Hara!]

Are there any songs that were remade that are better than the original?

[Bernard_Monsha]

No but there are a couple of cover bands who absolutely raise the bar. Hayseed Dixie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xxh492o2aM) and Hurrah Torpedo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysUjYAi0WcQ)

Any Johnny Cash cover from American IV & V> Originals.

Louie Louie as done by the Kingsmen, and Ballroom Blitz as done by the Damned, are quite a bit better than the originals....

[Woooh]

Yes...Norther's remake of Smash by Offspring, Norther's remake of The Final Countdown by Europe, Norther's remake of Skid Row's Youth Gone Wild, and Sonata Arctica's remake of Scorpions' Still Loving You

Some people may hate me for it, but I greatly prefer Cradle of Filth's version of Hallowed Be Thy Name so much more than Iron Maiden's.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

You can go ahead and laugh it up but I like Madonna's "American Pie" better than Don McLean's.^_^

There's several covers that I consider better than the original:

Melvins - Smells like Teen Spirit (Nirvana)
Pixies - Head On (The Jesus and Mary Chain)
Cap'N Jazz - Take on Me (A-Ha)
Sonic Youth - I Wanna Be Your Dog (the Stooges)
Butthole Surfers - American Woman (Guess Who)
