The Kink's "You Really Got Me" by Van Halen. Definitely played out, but one of the best covers ever.

Wikipedia - "Carol of the Bells" is a popular Christmas carol composed by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych in 1914[1] with lyrics by Peter J. Wilhousky. The song is based on a Ukrainian folk chant called "Shchedryk".[2] Wilhousky's lyrics are copyrighted, although the original musical composition is not.

Remake:
Carol of the Bells - August Burns Red - Usually wait until December to listen to it though
