OT Weekend Jukebox challenge

[spydersabich]

I don't now about anyone else but I've enjoyed these threads. I want to issue a challenge to post a favorite song and a cover of that song that you also enjoy (bonus points if you can find a foreign band to cover the song). I'll start with 3 songs. The first is a French cover, the second a German cover and the third I think from a different planet

Hmmm.....the first song that came to mind for me was New Order's 'Bizarre Love Triangle'. They're British, but the cover is from Australian band Frente. I love how these are just so different from each other.

Bonus points if you know who the lead actress in this video is.

This is a flip. An American band covering a British/European band.

Really like Petes cover of this.

Controversy about the author but Tim Rose was said to have initially started playing this song.

Hendrix of course took it another level.

Otis Taylor's version is something I stumbled upon a couple years ago.

I heard the Motörhead version on an Acura car commercial.

Probably the most popular cover version of any song in the rock era.

Killer cover by some band I never otherwise heard of....

Any post would be a cover, so here's a good one...

I hadn't heard that cover version. That's pretty good. And the original is too. Thanks for that.
