Covered in '80s

In this ongoing series, we highlight 80’s cover tunes or ‘80s songs that have been covered by other artists. Sometimes it’s a win-win: an 80’s song covered by another 80’s artist! Which version is your favorite?

"Wicked Game" is the song that put Chris Isaak on the map. First appearing in 1989, it rocketed to popularity thanks to an appearance in the 1990 movie, "Wild at Heart". Oh, and that sizzling video with the topless Helena Christensen probably had a little something to do with its popularity as well.

The song has been covered a number of times by a group of very diverse artists. One of the more recent versions is this acoustic rendition by 11th American Idol winner Phillip Phillips.



A powerful acoustic cover of this song was also done by hard rocking outfit Stone Sour in 2006.



Had enough slow, acoustic stuff? Then check out this rousing rocking version by HIM, from his 2003 album, "Razorblade Romance".
