    Bowling for soup updated 'Girl all the bad guys want' for a Radio 1 feature a few years ago. A lot of the references in the original are out of date now, like pagers, rap metal etc.

    I remember Placebo did similar when they covered the Smiths' Bigmouth Strikes Again.
    Walkman was replaced by Discman. Hearing Aid was replaced by Megadrive. So the cover version ended up referencing more obsolete things than the original.
