Butterfly
In 1999 the American band "Crazy Town" reached a No.1-Hit with the song "Butterfly" in Germany and in the US. But perhaps many people don't know, that the song was already written ten years before. The "Red Hot Chili Peppers" published this song in an instrumental version with the title "Pretty Little Ditty" in 1989. "Crazy Town" only added a text to the melody and the No.1-Hit was ready.
In my opinion the instrumental version is really upgraded with the remake, so my vote goes to "Crazy Town". Nevertheless the song doesn't reflect the true style of "Crazy Town". The rest of the album, which is a mixture of rock, metal and rap, is absolutely awful. "Butterfly" was the only real success.

Comments about Butterfly:
Um... this is not a cover... Crazy Town made a good song from a SAMPLE of a RHCP song... this should be removed.

Baaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!! any band could take any of the chili peppers awesome songs and turn it into shit... this is a prime example...

ok i dont think you should bash crazytown cuz they can take whatever samples they want from any song they want an rap over it. theres nothing wrong with that. and how dare some of you bash on rap(jon in decatur). and this wasnt even rap it was hip-hop theres a big difference. but i love the chili peppers and because that song had a good melody, they should have expected that someone would take it. so i voted for crazytown

..i dont know....if you just add text then that is no cover.....its just adding the text....and i think its completely, totally awful when someone does a cover without saying that that is a cover and without naming the band which they took the song from....its called stealing and lying....
