Songs where the cover beat the original

I Dream Of Wires
Dont get me wrong Gary Numans version is great too - But Robert Palmer more subtle version, is a great listen

Hurt
Never was a big fan of Nine Inch nails to start with, but Johnny Cash definitely hit all the right notes on this one.

Transmission
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

Bette Davis Eyes
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.

Take Me to the River
David Byrne really nails this one, Al green might have too, but this is the one that got stuck in my ears

Gin and Juice
If you haven't heard it, give it a go! Snoop dogs tune in a crazy Bluegrass version

I Will Survive
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.
