We've Got You Covered

Here are a few of my favorite covers:

• Femme Fatale by The Velvet Underground, covered by Aloe Blacc.
• Redemption Song by Bob Marley, covered by Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros.
• You Shook Me by Willie Dixon, covered by Led Zeppelin.
• One More Cup of Coffee by Bob Dylan, covered by White Stripes.
• Take Me to the River by Al Green, covered by Talking Heads.
• The Man Who Sold the World by David Bowie, covered by Nirvana.
  
• Teenage Kicks by The Undertones, covered by Nouvelle Vague.
• Cupid by Sam Cooke, covered by Amy Winehouse.
• China Girl by Iggy Pop, covered by David Bowie.
  Okay, this is kind of cheating since the song was co-written by Iggy Pop and David Bowie, but Pop recorded it first.
• Tainted Love by Gloria Jones*, covered by Soft Cell.
  *Not available in the DPL catalog. Ask for it via Request It or give it a listen on YouTube.

And one cover that I will never like as much as the original: I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston. Houston's version is more famous but I much prefer the quiet, country original by Dolly Parton.

I want more, tell me your favorite covers.
