Some of the silliest covers in the world are the best

The Sisters of Mercy - Jolene considered good, but silly.

(Jerry Springer sings Hey mr Tamborine Man considered very, very bad)

What's your favourite/least favourite?

Update: I am just becomign acquainted with the Leningrad Cowboys version of Sweet Home Alabama. Fantastic. Oh, and of course, I'm taking as read that you all love the King. Right?

Favourite covers :
'All Tomorrow's Parties', Japan.
'Fame', Duran Duran.
'Is There Something I Should Know?', AllSTARS.
'Justify My Love', FLA.
'Sex Dwarf', Leaether Strip.
'Popcorn', Jean Michel Jarre.
'Cars', Shampoo.
'Imagination', Harry.
And many more. No, really. Many. Including the one of 'Don't You (Forget About Me)' that I heard at the Ballroom, which was brilliant.

Least favourite? If I had to choose one it would be 'Missing You' by Puff Daddy and Faith Evans. It makes me cry. And break things. And leave restaurants. :)
