Man, there are a ton! I did not know about the other thread on this topic. My faves are probably "Satisfaction," "Tainted Love," and "The Passenger," but I haven't heard many of them.

Japan - "All Tomorrow's Parties," "I Second That Emotion" and "Ain't That Peculiar."

"Peculiar" may be my favourite Motown cover by anyone New Wave, frankly.
