I absolutely loved that cover! The Scissor Sisters' redition has a great 70's/80's electro-disco feel to it. Class

Yeah, Al Jourgensen tore this up. My favorite memory of this song is me in the middle of a mosh pit while Ministry is playing it at Lollapalooza 1992.

You may have already known this-AsianBomb777 amd sextonseven, but on the recorded version of Supernaut the vocals are done by Trent Reznor.

TVT complained about Trent appearing, so Al just manipulated the vocals-to make it hard to tell otherwise.

Man, I love that song.

I feel the need to tag along with this ride. I can listen to this song 800X and never be tired of it, it so amazingly beautiful.

of course beyonce and luther vandross the closer i get 2 u

I agree with jkj10. Good covers are a rarity unless you never heard the original.

The only cover I really liked when I'd heard the original first was 'Sacrifice' originally by Elton John covered by Sinead O'Connor on 'Two Rooms' tribute album. She took a good song and made it beautiful.

Her 'Nothing compares 2 U' was also brilliant but I hadn't heard the original before hearing her version.

Let It Be - Nick Cave

Letter B - Sesame Street Muppets

It's Not Easy Being Green - Ray Charles
