One of my favorite mix-tape topics. Not songs that were originally GP, but songs from other genres that got the GP treatment.

A few of my top picks:
Zeke - Rhiannon (by Fleetwood Mac)
Minor Threat - Stepping Stone (Monkees)
The Crosstops - Six Days On The Road (Dave Dudley)

"My Sweet Lord" by Lithium Xmas , almost unrecognizeable.

''Piranha" by I Spit on Your Gravy" is a thoroughly whacked take on guess which already - Garage Punk song by The Monkees , but , originally done , in a more Punked out  manner , by Paul Revere and The Raiders . HA HA. There's a good quote for ya - "The Monkees were cool. They MIMED well" , Mark Lindsay. I heard him tell somebody that !

One of my all-time favorite covers in general is The Slits version of "Heard it Through the Grapevine."

Yeah, the Slits version is ace. You gotta love all those Detroit Cobras versions as well. Folc Records are planning a "Queremos ser negro (We Wanna be Black). With Los Chicos at the helm it's bound to be ace. We've also just done a cover of Gino Washington's Outta This World. 'tis up on our page if you fancy checking it out.

Dirtbombs - Kiss Kiss Kiss

I dig the Oblivians "Locomotion" on Best of the Worst... I think because i'm more familiar with the kylie minogue sucky version than the little eva one... Country Teasers "No Limits" and "Tainted love" our also classic...

I love Bored's cover of ACDCs Whole Lotta Rosie, they also do a killer cover of My Pal on a Spanish 7"

anyone know of a good punkified cover of Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison? I know Ty Segall did a version, I just wanted to see of anyone else did.

Yes!!!  One of my all time favorites.

The entire "Ultraglide In Black" album by The Dirtbombs.

I also dig Ty's cover of "Cherry Red" and his whole EP "Ty Rex" where he covers 6 T-Rex tunes.  Great stuff.

Another point on The Detroit Cobras manyof their tunes are covers, old R and B, Motown B-sides etc. Really like them too.
