With the discussion going on in this thread http://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=90196 about whether it's good to play cover songs or not, I heard a totally reworked version of a cover tune that was so different that I didn't even recognize it right from the original for a while, so I thought I'd start a thread where you post totally different versions of cover songs.

Only rule is you first state the name of the original song and the original artist, follow it with "covered by" and the name of the artist doing the cover. Thus:

"It Don't Come Easy" by Ringo Starr, covered by Bettye Lavette

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes are THE KINGS of turning pop songs into punk versions.
