What's your favorite re-make of a song? Not a song using a sample, but a re-make.
You Belong With Me - For All Those Sleeping. I don't know who did the original, and I don't care to know. It's on a Punk Goes Pop album :)
How about Johnny Cash's remake of a Nine Inch nails song ?
I like the Mama Cass remake of "Dream A Little Dream of Me", originally released by Ozzie Nelson in 1931, and a vastly different sound.
Alien ant farms cover of smooth criminal is sooooo awesome! I'd post a video but then I'd get frustrated cos I can't so I'm not gonna. That's fine then. :)

GG allin made a decent cover of up against the wall
Allthough he made a variety of covers throught his discography, but he usually reworked the lyrics into something new like his cover of kids in the city by candy https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iYGcr8643bk
Also I enjoy sid vicious's entire repertoire which just consisted of cover songs because aside from Belsen was a gas he never wrote something original sadly
Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole
Also many people don't know that Soft Cells One hit wonder Tainted Love is a remake. It was originally done by Gloria Jones in 1965. I like Soft Cells version better.

X factor performance by James arthur. He completely change tulisha's song - young. Boyce Avenue cover - drops of Jupiter by train. Ed Sheeran - no diggity/thrift shop
