Continuing the top 5 theme........
Like a Virgin (Madonna) - Teenage Fanclub
Free Again (Big Star) - Teenage Fanclub
Here Comes Your Man (Pixies) - Teenage Fanclub
...TFC do a good line in covers.
Free Falling (Tom Petty) - The Kings of Convenience
Have Love Will Travel (The Sonics) - The Black Keys
and anything TV ad related by Snuff, remember an amazing new year gig at the Venue circa '92 when they covered about 10 TV ads and finished with the Theme from In Sickness & In Health!!!!!. Think they subsequently released them on an EP called Flibbidydibbidydob.

Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode)
Marilyn Manson's version is a cracker too.
It's a great song. Other good covers of it include Agressiva 69 (Mansonesque), Pat MacDonald (blues) and Richard Cheese (lounge jazz). Also worth a try is Tu Unico Dios by the inappropriately named Los Acusicas.0 -
