Cover songs you think are better than the original (soundtrack, album)

I may be in the minority here, but I liked Marilyn Manson's version of Tainted Love better than the original.

Actually, Tainted Love was originally a soul number,done in 1964 by Gloria Jones- and it's the best version by far...sounds a bit like Rescue Me by Fontella Bass, but way better.

Get the Party Started - Cobra Verde

there are a few other good covers in that album

I am sure most of you wouldn't agree with me, but I was rather impressed with the cover of "Saturday Night's Alright" by Nickelback and Kid Rock. It was really awesome to hear it done with some heavier drums and bass.

BTBAM "Blackened" >>> Metallica "Blackened"

as a matter of fact, BTBAM outperforms almost all the bands on the songs they re-did for the new album.

I kind of like Marianne Faithful's cover of Lennon's "Working Class Hero".

Spooky Tooth's version of "I am the Walrus".
