I like the original better, but enjoy the cover enough to bump this thread.

A unique take on the original Cyndi Lauper song.

Never knew this was a cover of the Village People song until years later:

The version I prefer is pretty evident (no doubt). Nina Simone's version is great, but in this case it's kind of like All Along the Watchtower from Bob Dylan to Jimi Hendrix. Kimbra just adds a completely different energy to it, and sings her heart out with as much passion as Nina did back in her day, just with a different style. That's the best kind of cover.

Bowie / Reznor live duet is my favourite version of Hurt.

The original takes some beating though, it's a perfect conclusion to The Downward Spiral's narrative and is chillingly desolate.

Anyway, my cover of choice, Sonic Youth (or Ciccone Youth in this case) do dirty, sexy things to Madonna's Into The Groove.

As compared to the original, which has the worst audio ever.
