old classic songs to remakes..any?

[Semidevil]

I want you guys to help me here..

I'm trying to think of a few songs. Good songs from back then, maybe 60's, 70's 80's or 90's, that were remade.

Same song, same lyrics, just sung by a different singer...maybe they were "modernized" or whatever..

can anyone give me some songs...

Last Kiss
American Pie (horrible)
I love rock and roll (horrible)

Jump In The Line - Harry Belafonte

 

[clamum]

Lagwagon - Bad Moon Rising
Hi-Standard - California Dreaming

 

[Electric Amish]

"My Generation" - Limp Bizkit
"Behind Blue Eyes" - Limp Bizkit (this remake is a severe POS)
"Faith" - Limp Bizkit

"The Boys of Summer" - Ataris (?) <Yeah, thanks Minendo>

Dobey Gray/Uncle Kracker's Drift away. Not a huge classic.
Bob Dylan's knocking on Heaven's door -> GNR -> Avril Lavigne, and many others
there's literally hundreds.

Dixie Chicks redid Fleetwood's "Landslide"....


etc., ad nauseum.

It was also done by Eric Clapton.

Yet another. Fred Durst and Johnny Rzeznik (sp?) redid Wish You Were Here.

I REALLY hope you know that GNR was doing a remake of Bob Dylan there. Avril was doing the same (except much much worse)
