This is not really a cover cuz it's by the original singer but with a different band and vibe. Not that many of you care for reggae but I'm buzzed and am sharing anyway..
Not going to say better than the original....but a lot of fun and distinctly different take, especially if you've ever wondered what Black Sabbath would sound like with a horn section.

Just caught this Simon and Garfunkel classic. While I wont say it better it is very good in an angry sort of way.
If this has been posted sorry and sue me.

This song was written by Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett, and came out on a Delaney & Bonnie record as well sung by Rita Coolidge on Mad Dogs & Englishmen- the Carpenters version, though the biggest hit, is actually a cover. [Reply]

It's called "GIFT" and it's quite simply a mindfuck. A 90 minute montage of Lolla-era Jane's interspersed with Perry and Casey's macabre drug-induced home movie about loving a corpse...
'Don't Call Me' is actually the least uneasy moment in the whole film. It's like a release... [Reply]

Reznor himself gushed over the cover, and even said the song wasn't his anymore after Cash's version. Cash's version is the quintessential version of the song, like it or not.
I like both versions, but give the edge to NIN - the piano is harrowing, and adds a suspense to the accompanying narrative, which is more purely self-loathing with Reznor's pleading delivery.
Plus I prefer the lyrics in their unaltered state. [Reply]

I've seen pieces on youtube. I now know the guy who was one of the 3 heads of triple X Records who was the guy in his underwear in tge dominatricks scene. [Reply]
