Remixed, Remade, Remodeled

This thread is dedicated to the original and remade versions of songs. What I want you to do is post the original song/video then the remade one. Let's see how many of these we can name.

Beat It - Michael Jackson

Monkey Man by Melt Banana:

Dunno, they're utterly different but along with The Specials these are my three favourite versions.

Can't Stand Losing You by The Police:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9bXMi3PSyW8

Can't Stand Losing You by Feeder:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Cbt8qd8R4

I prefer Feeder's cover.

My Sharona by The Knack:

My Sharona by Polysics:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=y9dBzalhLRQ

Polysics' version is magnificent and loads of fun live. I prefer it.

Sunny Afternoon by The Kinks:

Sunny Afternoon by Stereophonics:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ekDq5kT7mfs

The Welsh butchered it.

Imagine by John Lennon:

Imagine by A Perfect Circle:

I prefer A Perfect Circle's cover

Word Up - Cameo

Word Up - Korn

I prefer the Korn version, only really because I prefer harder music.

War Pigs - Black Sabbath

War Pigs - Faith No More

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cALQdWTuc7g

I like them both equally to be honest.

I thought of the Faith No More War Pigs cover, and thought I HAD to include Easy too.

Easy - Commodores

Easy - Faith No More

Faith No More's version, easily. Mainly for the same reasoning as Word Up.

The Day I Tried To Live - Soundgarden

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlX5X7gNraQ

The Day I Tried To Live - Between the Buried And Me

Again, like them equally. BTBAM offers a harder edge to it, but the softer side of the orginal is better than BTBAM's. I guess at a push I'd say the SG version, but not by much at all.

If I were to post another BTBAM cover (off their cover album) it'd be their version of Motley Crue's Kickstart My Heart which is fantasitc.
