Line 74:
* Being, as they were, major influences on just about every metal/punk/emo band that's emerged in the past twenty years, pretty much every single song in The Misfits discography has been covered a hundred times over. "Last Caress" and "Halloween" are particular favorites, it seems.
** [[Metallica]] loves covering the Misfits: a medley of "Last Caress" and "Green Hell" on ''Garage Days Re-Revisited'' and "Die Die My Darling" on ''Garage Inc.''.
* A special category in this trope is where the original artists assist in the cover version. For instance, the Beatles helped out the Silkie with their hit cover version of "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" (mainly because the Silkie were being managed by Brian Epstein). [[Elton John]] did this trick with not one, but three, major hits: he got [[The Who|Pete Townsend]] to assist on his version of "Pinball Wizard", had [[The Beatles (band)|John Lennon]] on guitar on his version of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", and returned the favor when George Michael did a cover of his "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me".
** [[Ozzy Osbourne]] joined with [[Primus]] to cover [[Black Sabbath]]'s NIB.
* [[Killswitch Engage]] covered [[Ronnie James Dio]]'s "Holy Diver."
