Foo Fighters did a version of Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street". That song is just too smooth and the Foofies turned it into something rocking like they always do.

'Mad World' by Gary Jules. Very sad and touching version of the song. It was originally done by Tears for Fears I believe, and it was a tad lame.

Oh yeah, that Gary Jules version is brilliant. It has very tragic feel to it. It's in the Donny Darko movie and is a perfect example of a song that totally fits the movie. Don't know the Tears for Fears version though.

If a song can be made 'good' by covering it then surely that means the song was good in the first place and it's only the original performance of it that was bad.
Unless of course it means good as in the cover has a comical or satirical slant on the original in which it's still a bad song anyway regardless of how good you think it is, otherwise why parody it? |

Maybe even a bigger accomplishment: some bands cover a brilliant song and can make it sound bad. Quote:

Arrangement and production polish things off, they don't make the song. |

I never said you have to have good lyrics to make a good song.
