Cover songs you think are better than the original

Not a bad song to begin with, but I do like this cover more than the original. Well, maybe because I've listened to the original so many times and it's just a nice change.

it's not an easy song especiecaly striped back to the bones. i may be doing alice russell an injustice saying it's a cover, when infact she dose it in her own style.!

I haven't actually heard it, so I can't attest to its quality. But someone told me Weezer did a good cover of Pokerface

Daughtry did a god-awful version acoustically. It will be good to see what Weezer can do to this track.

Call Me done by Cadaveria - absolutely breath taking and very originally done even though it stays true to the original song. Its heavy though and not for the squemish but at the same time has that classic iconic sound of the original.
