What are some good remakes of oldies (50's, 60's, 70's) songs? There's "You really got me" remade by Vanhalen and a few others I know. But there must be more. (No disco though)Let me know , thanks.

I don't know if you would consider this an oldie or not, but Fiona Apple sings a cover of The Beatles's "Across the Universe" that I really like. Some other suggestions:
"One is the Loneliest Number" (Three Dog Night) - Aimee Mann
"Here Comes the Sun" (The Beatles) - Belle & Sebastian
"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Head" (BJ Thomas) - Ben Folds Five (live)
"Susie Q" (Mickey Gilley) - Creedence Clearwater Revival
"Hello, I Love You" (The Doors) - The Cure
"Magic Carpet Ride" (Steppenwolf) - Fatboy Slim
"Knocking on Heaven's Door" (Bob Dylan, among others) and "Sympathy for the Devil" (The Rolling Stones) - Guns N' Roses
"American Woman" (Jimi Hendrix) - Lenny Kravitz
"Behind Blue Eyes" (The Who) - Limp Bizkit
"Paint it Black" (The Rolling Stones) - Vanessa Carlton
"My Generation" (The Who) - Oasis
"My Way" (Frank Sinatra) - Sex Pistols
"Conquest" (not sure who sang this first, but it was recorded before by someone) - The White Stripes
"Mrs. Robinson" (Simon & Garfunkel) - Weezer
"You Belong to Me" (The Duprees) - Jason Wade (lead singer of Lifehouse)
