"Dream Lover" by The Misfits

Granted it's one of the many revamped misfits with Dez Cadena and Marky Ramone with Jerry Only singing, but I love the cover, regardless.

come to think of it The Cramps didn't do one bad cover. One of the best bands ever.

The Church covering The Beatles

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2zVfpWXU4E

more Church covering Kevin Ayers and Iggy Pop

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLJLCnk2LtM

Not really a good tune or anything but I love how The Residents absolutely butcher the song.

I love this song. I didn't know it was a cover when I first heard it, but I like it much better than the original by an obscure group called Earth and Fire, although that one's good. Actually, Ghost have a couple of other good covers that I know of:

cover of the Rolling Stones' tune

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZPZw3SlAvI

Cromagnon (another obscure band) cover; makes me want to wield a large axe and fight other men with large axes.
