And you can't hate on Children of Bodom covering Britney Spears so wonderfully.

Yes!

They have a whole album of covers that I think is amazing. This is probably my favorite of theirs. I love CCR, but this cover's great too.

I don't Reel Big Fish. But they did a cover of Hotel California (by another band that I just can't stand) that's actually pretty kickin'. Other than that, they never did a whole lot worth listening to.

Sorry, I meant 'The More We Get Together'. It's from the Live On WFMU Radio 02.26.2001 performance I have.

Shiny Toy Guns cover of Major Tom (Coming Home)

Been hearing this on the new Lincoln car commercial that's been on alot lately. Finally had to look it up and listen to the full song. I think they did a good job here.

There's alot of great Misfits covers, but I think this might be my favorite.

This cover is ****e. Plastic Bertrand's would be better, and it's obnoxious as ****. I would LOVE to hear a good cover of that song, Peter Schilling was genius.
