Perhaps as a general formula, but all the punk-ish versions I've heard of "99 Red Balloons" haven't made it any better than the original. Of course I don't have much esteem for the original so this may be an example of multiplying an infinitesimal number by a really big, but finite number.
Speaking of infinitesimal originals, has anyone out there heard a cover of "We Built This City (On Rock and Roll)" [Wasn't that song recently voted as the worst song ever?].
