I also love the Britney Spears I Cant Get No Satisfaction remake although most people hate it. Whats Going On. Also, I Cant Help Falling In Love With You by UB40! And More Than Words by BBMAK. I cant think of any right now that I hate though..

what a joke!! that's a hilarious cover.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're talking about, but these are some great live covers:

-Goo Goo Dolls - American Girl (Concert for NYC) <originally by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers>
-Counting Crows - Live Forever/A Long December medly <live forever orignally by oasis> I'm not sure where this was recorded from, but it's excellent

I have to agree with shavelyLBC34 that the Me First and the Gimme Gimmes covers are excellent.

i think the fact that she said she "loves Pat Benetar" when asked about it makes me dislike it even more.
