I like cover versions except when horrible bands like KISS try and cover someone great like The Replacements.

The DK's "Rawhide" ok prefer their cover of "Viva Las Vegas"

Motorhead "Louie Louie" yay or nay?

I'm sure someone can disprove me in short order, but I have never, ever, ever heard a truly bad version of Louie, Louie.

Thirded. The genius of that song is its immunity to wretched interpretation. One of the reasons to watch Coupe de Ville (other than it being a funny Stand By Meish flick) is the "Louie Louie" medley over the closing credits.

Yep I believe Jon the Postman did eventually record a version of "Louie Louie" and respect to you for remembering.

I'm not big Foo Fighters fan, but I was pleasantly surprised by their cover of Down in the Park. Not as good as the original, but pretty serviceable.
