"Cinammon Girl", originally done by Neil Young, was covered by Type-O-Negative.

No a cover of this song but Prince has an original piece titled Cinammon Girl in hi album Musicolgy... My fav. track on there.

Some more:
Chris Cornell - Billie Jean (yes, Billie Jean. Originally by Michael Jackson)

I gotta disagree here.. I love me some Chris and I've often said he's a genius and he has the best voice of my times. But no, I can not say his cover of Billie is better then MJ's original.
No one will ever do it better then MJ.
I like Chris cover it's brilliant but as far as anything from the Thriller album goes those songs go above and beyond anything. Just my opinion...

Which reminds me of what a piece of shit the guys from Fall Out Boy did with their cover of Beat It...
Same goes for Amy Winehouse and whoever the fuck that was next to her singing...

Oh! Oh! someone left the liquor cabinet open and "Tinkerbell" here got a bottle of O'Douls and is now running loose...

I think the O'Douls really hit you hard there cause you Neg. Repped me thinking I was 'FOR' them (Fall Out Boy & Amy) covering MJs music.
When I clearly said "They should ALL be shot 1 by 1"...

Some grab the O'Douls from his hand and lay him down on the couch.
Be sure to lock the medicine cabinet before he goes in there and tries to O.D. with some Flinstones vitamins...

Now here's some Neg. Rep. for the misread...

[El Kabong]

Yes but Mick you posted those on here the thread title being "What Cover Songs Were Better Than The Original Versions?" and I'm not going to read your fucking novel to get to the part where you say "Nobody does MJ songs better than MJ".....just say WORST COVER EVER before you post it and then you won't get neg repped.

[CutMeMick]

I'm not going to read your fucking novel to get to the part where you say "Nobody does MJ songs better than MJ".....

Well then bright light I would suggest not replying to a post you haven't read completely...

Now fuck off.

Nirvana's - Man who sold the world was a good Bowie cover also..

Okay, okay, I'm have to admit to this, but I loved the reality show "Rock Star" when it was on, the talent was 1000 times better than Idol (yes, I watched that too, as I hang my head in shame). And there were some songs that were covered great IMO, and one was The Man Who Sold The World covered by Jordis. She was fanastic! Every time I hear her sing this song I get the chills.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zsNdGf8Bt8

She also rocked Heart Shape Box by Nirvana.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk3PR...eature=related

Then one of my other favs was done by this guy Marty Casey, and he got stuck having to sing Hit Me Baby One More Time by good old Brittney Spears, and he rocked it.

Okay, now you all can start laughing at me.
