Stray Cats 1st album has a rockin' version of "You Can't Hurry Love" which works well.
As does the rockabilly "Tainted Love" by Dave Phillips and "The Boys are Back in Town" by my mate's rockabilly band some years ago (I like a bit of 'billy).
Also "Respect" by Dexys worked very well... oh, many others

The first one that surprised me was that Jealous Guy by Roxy music was done originally by john lennon.

I can think of about 3000 other ones but whoever is totting this stuff up, that one will do me for now.

 

[Chromatic]

Delilah by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band is completely stunning.

I agree. Even my wife likes it.
