US acts covering British songs, and vice versa

Hey ILM! I'm making a playlist for an American colleague who is returning to the good ol' US of A, after a period over here in Blighty. I'm helping to make her a playlist of US acts covering British songs, and vice versa, but am finding it tricky. All I have so far is Mike Watt covering Wire's The 15th. Can people recommend some other favourites? Thanks!

The Feelies did a couple of good Beatles covers didn't they

How wide a period of time do you want covered? There are a load of Motown/other soul covers by 60s mod etc acts.

& covers of country, folk, Dylan, etc etc proliferate.

good point. I'm not too bothered about the timeframe, more personal favourites I suppose. Speaking of Motown covers, The Fall do a good one of R Dean Taylor's "There's a Ghost in my House". Perhaps interesting covers that recontextualise the song, like that Fall cover?

megadeth did a rubbish cover of 'anarchy in the uk'.

slowdive did 'some velvet morning'

Pat Benatar's cover of "Helter Skelter."

Vice: 'Breakin' in my Heart' - The Blue Aeroplanes
Versa: 'Women of the World' - Jim O'Rourke

I like their version of "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me and My Monkey".

Of course Beatles covers by American artsts are pretty common, and you probably wouldn't want to fill up a playlist with just that.

Also this was the first thng that came to mind:

thanks guys, good stuff, liking the Chas & Dave covers particularly!

Lots of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddely and blues covers by Brit acts

10s of 1000s

yeah, hence the "favourites" stipulation, are there one or two that really stand out for you both?

this is where yo la tengo still have their uses. still love their version of the kinks' 'oklahoma usa' but there's a load of dumb stuff on 'ylt is murdering the classics' if you wanna go for comedy value instead

e.g. roundabout by yes, oh bondage up yrs, baby's on fire etc

actually never mind, the original version of that might be UK as well ^

max bygraves innit

Baby's on Fire is a good shout, thx Nick

Oh, Aztec Camera's cover of Van Halen's "Jump."

hah awesome, thanks!

here's Anthrax covering The Smiths' "London"!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqzwiPIdw0A

Maybe too obvious, but two of my favorite covers of all time:

Pet Shop Boys - "Always On My Mind"
Soft Cell - "Tainted Love"

Radiohead covered 'Rhinestone cowboy'
Ladytron 'Oops Oh My'
Goldfrapp 'Physical'
Union Avenue 'Ace of Spades' (they're not American but it sounds country style...)
Kenickie 'letter to memphis'
Pretenders 'Every day is like Sunday'

The Clash "I Fought The Law"

devo - satisfaction

all good, thanks ILM friends! I will make a big Spotify playlist and post it here so we can revel in trans-Atlantic friendship!
