Totally agree with you there, and i didnt realise there were so many that have been covered either.

Heres just 10 of the 80s songs that should never have been covered.

 

1. The Weather Girls "Its Raining Men" – remade by Geri Halliwell

 

2. Blondie "The Tide is High" – remade by Atomic Kitten

 

3. Run DMC & Aerosmith "Walk this Way" – remade by Sugar Babes & Girls Aloud

 

4. Kool and the Gang "Ladies Night" – remade by Atomic Kitten

 

5. Tears for Fears "Mad World" – remade by Gary Jules

 

6. Depeche Mode "I Just Can't Get Enough" – remade by The Saturdays

 

7. Aretha Franklin "Sisters are Doing it for themselves" – remade by Spice Girls

 

8. Bangles "Eternal Flame" – remade by Atomic Kitten

 

9. Pointer Sisters "Jump" – remade by Girls Aloud

 

10. Police "Every Breath You Take" – remade by P Diddy

 

There are quite a few others, but i think most people will recongise these ones.
