Sky Eats Airplane's cover for Limp Bizkit's Nookie. The original is fine, but I only made out quite some big chunks of lyrics in the cover.

Apocalyptica's magnificent cover for Rammstein's Seemann.

Rammstein's and The Cardigans covers for Kraftwerk's Das Model. Couldn't find a single YouTube video of Rammstein's cover that isn't an amateur cover of the cover or the rare live version.

The Pretty Reckless' censored-version cover for Cee-Lo Green's Fuck You.

Halestorm and their wonderful covers for Pharell Williams' Get Lucky (original) and Lady Gaga's Bad Romance (original).

Fancy's cover for Roy Orbinson's timeless Pretty Woman. Not "better" but "in a different direction".

Brick + Mortar's cover for Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child.
