When it comes to cover versions you can’t go wrong with The Leningrad Cowboys, the band in Aki Kaurismäki’s film “Leningrad Cowboys Go America”, especially those sung with the Alexandrov Red Army choir (see the film “Total Balakaika Show”).

Born to be Wild (from Leningrad Cowboys Go America, the song starts about 20 seconds in - here the band have to placate a rowdy bar full of patrons who aren't impressed with their usual material)

Last but not least, Johnny Cash doing Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt” (okay, it’s not a fun cover but it is superb)

The fun cover king has to be Weird AlYankovic

Nouvelle Vague do Joy Division in a lounge/bossa nova style

Has to be the crazy drummer in ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man

Not sure I know any good covers...or how about this, Teddy and the Tigers...

Say Mama from Gene Vincent, cover by Hurriganes

Joking aside, here's the real deal, as a Finnish answer to those rubbish Leningrad Cowboys...

Royals' cover of Badge by Clapton

https://youtu.be/GOaA7a4R5F4

Say, Badge cover above , shows how in the 70's drummers still used hi-hats and everything music-wise was just better then. Don't know what happened to music but it just went down the pan by and large.

A newer version, same guy a few decades later, you'll notice that the guitarist is Mr Silvennoinen from very early 70's progg rock I've posted before (if you paid attention at all, most unlikely).

I'll post these as well, but only so long as no-one tells Kiloran, as I'm really not sure that he'll ever forgive me...

You youngsters have such strange tastes in music.

I think this one works better in reggae: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nerFI1owZls
(Not better than the original of course, nothing can beat that, but better than reggae Floyd)
