Taco's version of Puttin' On The Ritz?!? That was COOL! Especially when the first instinct whenever you hear it is to flash to the "Young Frankenstein" scene with Herr Doctor and THE MONSTER!!!

I've posted this before and I'll do it again

Annabella (Bow Wow Wow) Lewin's cover of Peggy Lee's Jazz Standard 'Fever' is.. SMOKIN!

I also love Devo's Cover of Hendrix's "Are You Experienced?"
"Have You ever Been Experienced? Well... I HAVE!"

Honorable Mention Goes to Doctor & The Medics for their very dancable cover of 'Spirit In The Sky'[8D]

Has anyone heard the Letters To Cleo cover of "Cruel To Be Kind"? I think it's a cover with a pretty cool sound. Whaddya think?
