I do like cover versions that transform something into a totally different style. I even do like Meco’s Star Wars and else disco covers. A bit cheesy yeah ;-).

Especially in the 70s there were lots of great ones make things groovy or even more groovy. Willi Bobo’s cover of the Kojak theme is great and even.

The Oakenfold mentions were also good. Or Moby’s Bond theme take although it is not really far from anything Arnold did.

A great cover of Barry’s tv theme to THE PERSUADERS is Neo’s “Persuaders”:

Moroder’s Superman cover is indeed a not so great example. His Battlestar Galactica is more convincing (although I like Phillip’s own take best). The 80s had some cheesy stuff. I admit back then I was a big fan of the ROCKY theme disco version mixing it with EYE OF THE TIGER:

I still have that maxi single 😉 They also did a version of Goldsmith’s FIRST BLOOD which was less great.

I am not a techno fan so I quite dislike for example the techno version of Doldinger’s DAS BOOT.
