Songs where the cover beat the original
Covers dont always have to be cheap knock-off's some artists occasionally captures the spirit better
I am revising my music memory and found that quite often I stumble upon songs that had a different origin. And upon hearing the original it becomes clear why the cover is the better option. Here is a list of my covers that beat the original

Dont get me wrong Gary Numans version is great too - But Robert Palmer more subtle version, is a great listen
Never was a big fan of Nine Inch nails to start with, but Johnny Cash definitely hit all the right notes on this one.
The original by Joy Division is great, but Hot chip's version just has a bit more atmosphere to it, and what a great appreciation this is to a classic
Never really listened to the original by Jackie DeShannon more than a couple of times, never had too much appeal, this one is like inhaling 80's energy.
David Byrne really nails this one, Al green might have too, but this is the one that got stuck in my ears
Cake surely managed to revitalise this hit - again! it wasn't really my favourite Cake song, their catalogue is quite good among the lesser known tracks I should say.
