Not sure it counts as PWEI co wrote Their Law with The Prodigy but this version smashes out of the park!!

I must be the only person on the planet that can't stand Cash"s version of Hurt. Seen NIN play it a few times live and it knocks the spots off it. Mind you, even Trent loves it apparently so I could be in a minority of one.
As for covers..... Alone Again Or by The Damned.
Love the PWEI cover. A few more:
Jamelia - Numb (was on a Radio1 live lounge)
Vitamin String Quartet (embarrassed to admit I found them watching Bridgeton)

Nirvana - Where did you sleep last night

Slice of 80s pop which dates back to the 60s

As for covers..... The theme from Midnight Cowboy by Faith No More.
Have seen both Prodigy and PWEI (back in the day) live versions of Their Law... and have to admit to liking the PWEI version more. That is a particularly good version.
The Heimatdamisch have done a load of "interesting" covers. Enjoy 🙂
If we’re going to have Tiffany (fnar) then we also need Snuff
Are artist in essence covering themselves allowed (bearing in mind it’s solo vs band and nothing like the original)
strictly speaking the Mary Hopkins version is the cover, but I offer this:
That muppets one is hilarious!
Black Betty - Spiderbait
The damned, their version of alone again or is indeed good, and Eloise is ok to but this is better....
White rabbit
The entire St Anger Album covered and remastered. Much better.
I've never been a fan of Prince (heresy apparently) but over the years I've discovered I love his songs when performed by other people.
Eels covers of "If I was your girlfriend" and "I could never take the place of your man" are excellent and Mariachi el Bronx version of "I would die 4 you" is even better.
Shirley you can’t be serious
And then there’s Brother Ray
Who could forget Sammy?

Harry Styles doing Sledgehammer. He also does a good cover of Fleetwood Mac The Chain.
2Cellos With or Without You.
I absolutely hate the Mondays version of He’s Gonna Step On You Again! 😖
This is a cover, although I’m sure someone will post saying it isn’t!
And speaking of Curve…
Two covers of songs by the same original artists, by two different singers.
Ane Braun’s cover of Maria McKee, who hardly ever sings this song.
Ane covering Alphaville
Angus and Julia Stone covering You’re The One That I Want
Anna Calvi and Amanda F***ing Palmer’s stunning Bowie cover.
Aoife O’Donovan covering Emmylou Harris
Claudia Winkleman and Claudia Winkleman dropping some hiphop covers
(note at times the drummer is playing drums with one hand and keyboards with the other)
Couple a good uns recently which resonate with me:
Cover of my local band
Local cover of my uni band.
Claudia Winkleman and Claudia Winkleman
Hmmm, pretty sure one of them is Liam Gallagher in a wig
Unsurprisingly there was not a load of pink cadillacs in Bristol in the early 90s
Mark e smith cover of "Lost in music" is brilliant
Not sure If I shared this before, but Cosplay bedroom rock did benefit from Covid a bit I reckon:
Apparently they're now gigging in full costume...
As used in ‘Natural Born Killers’…
Calexico’s version of ‘Alone Again Or’
Covering Yes is a challenge, but it can be done…
