I think Miley Cyrus covereed that song

Eloise- The Damned-

Everything but the kitchen sink thrown at it- just about comes out alive.

Friday On My Mind - Gary Moore

The Easybeats' original is certainly my favourite version, but I consider Moore's cover to be a pretty good effort and definitely better than the Bowie cover version of the song on the album "Pin Ups".

Going To A Go-Go - Secret Affair (The Miracles)

Fair if unessential cover of Smokey & Co's classic
Hayden

Heaven- DJ Sammy

Truly atrocious dance cover of Bryan Adams' pretty ballad.

Adams got to No 38. DJ Sammy got to No 1.

Pistol Packin' Mama - Gene Vincent

Love Gene's version, but prefer the forties version by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters, which I think may be the original, but I'm not too sure - way before my time.

Couldn't agree more. Love the Baseballs, detest Rihanna.

Did Elvis do the original, or was his a cover version too? Anyway, like both versions.
