Jackie DeShannon

The Searchers


The Ramones also covered this song.

"Walking in the Sand" by the Shangi-Las and covered by Aerosmith.

I'll flip the question and give you these:

"White Punks on Dope" by the Tubes and covered by the Nina Hagen Band;

"You Shook Me" by Willie Dixon and covered by Heart.
