I'm not sure about it being "better" than the original, but it is really good. Beck's cover of 'Diamond Dogs' (on the Moulin Rouge ST & produced by Timbaland) is really, really good.
If you're talking mixing 2 songs together (sugababes et al.) then you really need to try Soulwax. Get the '2 Many DJs' album, its amazing (you'd never know they're a rock band!)
Dreadlock Holiday and Independent Women, they *so* sound better together than they look!

I didn't know about Beck &" Diamond Dogs."
That's a mighty big song to pull off!

The words of DH and the tune of IW? Or the words of IW versus the tune of DH?
I'm trying to sing it in my head....

The words of Independent Woman to the music of Dreadlock Holiday. One of the ones that works suprisingly well I thought.

Or "No Scrubs" by TLC to the Human League's "Being Boiled" - often called "Being Scrubbed".
I'd forgotten the "Dreadlock Holiday" one. Might have to download that tonight...

Somewhere out there there's a mix of the vocals from Eminem's "Without Me" over the instrumental section of Dexys Midnight Runners' "Come On Eileen". Beat that!

Has anyone done a raved-up cover of 'Happy House' by Siouxsie and the Banshees? If not, they should!

Actually, thinking about it, I'm sure Utah Saints have already done this. I just heard 'Dreams' (the original), which brought tears to my eyes - something the cover could never do. And well, that sums this thread up really.
