Soft Cell

they did a song called Movies that got some airplay

Wasn't a "hit" though. You wouldn't hear it still played on the radio like Smooth Criminal

quiet riot?

DONT TURN AROUND OH OH

Technically, New York Groove was really his only "big" hit

Rock Soldiers is a fucking banger though, I just don't think anyone has heard it since the 80s

Their version is better than Michaels
Fight me

not hard to do since that's one of mj's weakest song

bjork

Natalie Imbruglia (much better than the original though and maybe the best one hit wonder of the 90s)

Weirdly, Jeff Buckley

Eddie's solo was better though

Orgy-Blue Monday

Probably some pop punk bands from the late 90s. They had that phase of playing 60s songs faster while wearing skater clothes. Too lazy to look it up.

DON'T TURN AROUND (UH OH)
DER KOMMISSAR'S IN TOWN

Quiet Riot

Jeff Buckley

That was some weird shit. Just straight-up in-your-face emboldened thievery.
I always wanted Falco to whip their asses over that.

Bowling for Soup - 1985

This was the first to come to mind as well.

Marilyn Manson

it's a cover you mong

The Ataris

Joan Jett

alien ant farm - smooth criminal

Metal Health (the track) is popular enough

no shit, moron.
it came out a year after Falco's version and everyone thought it was an original song.
did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were a toddler?

The Animals
t. zoomers

I Hate Myself was an original, but otherwise good call

Damn this cover's weak

*fights you*

lolno

You're thinking of Beat It
