OMG, I love the Young Ones. I bought the set, and it still makes me cry from laughing so hard.

Rastro, if you liked that Kanye West cover, you should really check out some of his other stuff. He has a lot of original stuff too, some of it fun, some of it serious. My personal favorite is his video for "Zombie Ninjas."

WOW, that's my favorite Radiohead song, and I love The Pretenders. Awesome!

These guys do have my love; I think this is freaking brilliant!

AND, I think some may know that, even if an overplayed song, I really like this version of Andrew Gold's "Thank You for Being a Friend":

Maroon5 version of Alicia Keys "If I Ain't Got You"

That Adam Levine can sing. Gotta hand it to him, he obviously trains his voice and he becoming quite good.

Jimmy Fallon as Jim Morrison covering the theme to "Reading Rainbow":

Well now I'll just be self indulgent and post some more of my faves..

And yes, Spontaneous, I've also got The Young Ones DVD, because after it's MTV run, it was on some PBS stations, and I noticed that some particularly edgy stuff was censored. And of course, I also wanted to see it whenever I wanted. It's still one of the funniest shows ever.

Thanks, joanne!

I think a good cover is one that most people do not realize it's a cover.

Blondie's "The Tide is High" falls under that category.

You just like it because it's on the 2 and the 4 Mr. SKAdave.

I've posted them in the past but most people don't know that PIECE OF MY HEART by Janis Joplin and NEW YORK, NEW YORK by Frank Sinatra are covers

I always liked these as well

It Must Be Love - MADNESS


Can't Get Used to Losing You - ENGLISH BEAT

Not the best cover (that would be Jeff Buckley)

Actually, John Cale does the definitive version

Um...
