I'll say Galas and not bother saying any more.
Roland Kirk's/ Ground Zero's versions of 'I say a little prayer' are awesomecore.
I utterly swear that Haino, when I saw him in Newcastle year before last did a cover of The Troggs' Wild Thing, but it was unrecognisable except for a half-bar and an emotion of the song's self.
Soft Cell's Tainted Love/ Where did our love go? is awesome, perhaps not because it retains the original melodies of both songs, but because it inserts a perversity alien to both songs.
V/VM needn't be mentioned, but have been neglected thenceforth.
I'd like to say Melt Banana's version of Surfin' USA, but that's entirely in keeping with the spirit of the original.
I think what Porky is getting at it desecrations that reveal something latent to the original which was previously unapparent. Hence the use of the (Derridaen) deconstruction. Perhaps Einsteurzene's version of Je T'aime?
I'm out of ideas otherwise.

Satanicpornocultshop's cover is that of pale blue eyes?I'm referring to covers of well known songs that regain some life through the mincer of fresh ideas.I hope that makes sense.The Fennesz cover in question,i find rather old by now but i just wanted to particularly refresh the memory of those who know it because i wouldn't want it to end up in the bin as some novelty but classy electronic experiment,if you know what i mean.
