Here are songs that I think are just as good as the original or improved:

- Johnny Cash - 'Hurt' (original by NIN)
- Pain Of Salvation - 'Yellow Raven' (original by The Scorpions)
- Transatlantic - 'The Return Of The Giant Hogweed' (original by Genesis)
- Marilyn Manson - 'Tainted Love' (original by Gloria Jones but done in the style of Soft Cells version)
- Pink - 'I Touch Myself' (original by The Divinyls)

* on a side note...
Manson seems to do a LOT of covers... and that Pink cover can be seen on her Funhouse DVD.
