• Ken Hensley from Californiaevery cover of "Dancing In The Street" that I've heard has been worse than the one that preceded it. I'd list the Van Halen, Grateful Dead and Mamas and Papas covers as being the 3 worse. It's amazing some people don't realize when a song's definitive version exists and shouldn't be covered.
• Jake from Salt Lake, UtDavid Lee Roth Was Believed To Be A Big Jim Dandy Fan From The Band Black Oak Arkansas Which Covered Dancin In The Streets On The Album Street Party In 1974
• Luke from Manchester, EnglandYes, Mick Jagger and David Bowie covered it in the 80s
• Kevin from Breda, NetherlandsThe Who also made a Cover on their BBC Sessions album
• Pudgemuffin from Buffalo, NyThe Mamas And the Papas also did a cover of this song.
• Ted from Loveland, CoFor the second year in a row, Van Halen was notably absent from the list of nominees for next years Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. (this is the second year they've been eligible)
• Joel from Montreal, CanadaThe Grateful Dead covered this on the 1977 album Terrapin Station. Excellent album, excellent cover.
• Tim from Hendersonville, TnMick Jagger and *I think* David Bowie did another cover of this as well. It had more of a horn section in it, but they copied the VH bass line, which was not in the original Martha & the Vandellas version.
