Yes, lots o' good stuff already mentioned.
One not listed yet is "You Really Got Me" by the Kinks.
Nicely updated by Van Halen.
But the version I really enjoy is by Oingo Boingo!
What's your favorite remake of a song
I know most remakes fall short of the original, but I suspect that it's usually due to the fact that the original was known and popular. The remake usually pales by comparison, but I've heard a few things lately that I really liked, and wondered what others have enjoyed...
