Tried to remember that one, thanks.

But you seemed to find the wrong video, this the right one (with Keira

Social Distortion, "Ring of Fire":

And of course the original, by Johnny Cash:

Love the original, love the cover. One is an undisputed classic by an undisputed class act, and the other... there's something about the energy of Social Distortion's version that really makes it come alive all over again.

Edit: and not to be outdone in the cover department, here's Johnny doing his take on Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage":

(And the original: )

As much I loved Chris Cornell in his prime, I almost gotta go with Johnny on this one.

Well then of course Johnny's version of 'Hurt' must be named here.
(Actually the first song that popped in my mind when I saw this topic title)

Really have come to appreciate Johnny Cash and his music since hearing his "Hurt" cover.

Giant Drag "Wicked Game" is my submission covering Chris Isaak

I remember discussing this with one of my friends a while back. I told him that after Johnny did that song, it ceased being a NIN song and it became his.

First pick to come to mind is Mrs. Robinson, originally by Simon & Garfunkel,

The excellent Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd covered in a sublime, unusual and marvelous fashion by Scissor Sisters. it's completely different - not sure it could be more so!

For me this the best cover of all time.
