My first thought was Satanicpornocultshop's anorexiagasballoon which I assumed was an obvious choice. I shan't say what it's a cover of, because everyone should seek it out on account of it being a perfect example of a well-known song fucked up badly, in a good way.
I'll say Galas and not bother saying any more.
Roland Kirk's/ Ground Zero's versions of 'I say a little prayer' are awesomecore.
I utterly
swear that Haino, when I saw him in Newcastle year before last did a cover of The Troggs' Wild Thing, but it was unrecognisable except for a half-bar and an
emotion of the song's self.
Soft Cell's Tainted Love/ Where did our love go? is awesome, perhaps not because it retains the original melodies of both songs, but because it inserts a perversity alien to both songs.
V/VM needn't be mentioned, but have been neglected thenceforth.
I'd like to say Melt Banana's version of Surfin' USA, but that's entirely in keeping with the spirit of the original.
I think what Porky is getting at it desecrations that reveal something latent to the original which was previously unapparent. Hence the use of the (Derridaen) deconstruction. Perhaps Einsteurzene's version of Je T'aime?
I'm out of ideas otherwise.
