    At this year's Coachella music festival, headliner Prince (that little eccentric guy), did a cover of Radiohead's famous alterna-hit, "Creep." Like all good things in this day and age, the video made it to YouTube, except Prince's record label blocked it from being viewed due to copyright laws. In response, Radiohead singer Thom Yorke said: "Well, tell him to unblock it. It's our ... song."

    Unfortunately, Prince's cover of "Creep," may never be seen, but here are ten well-known songs that have been wonderfully covered. Some you'll know like Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," others might be a surprise, like punk rocker Ted Leo's version of Kelly Clarkson's "Since You Been Gone." Enjoy!
