So today I was thinking how I like this :
[video=youtube;YWI4MkDWz88]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWI4MkDWz88[/video]
more than the original song...
and I started to wonder what other covers are nice?
I also like Simple Plan's Happy Together more than the original one.
There's also some great versions of the songs from Sgt Pepper's in the 40th anniversary BBC radio disc.

Far better than the Don Henley version, though I've been told I should burn in hell for saying such a thing.

though the song would be better altogether without the gaga cover.

Yes it's Lady GaGa, but she's very good.

Weezer's Pokerface is fantastic. I have a hard time placing any Beatles covers over the originals.

I'm digging the APC. Maynard is a genius.

I dunno I just like it. As much as the original Disney song is great, I like the rock version Bowling for Soup do. 8D

This is the only cover I know that I think is better than the original :

Cute girl, too. Too bad she got pregnant at age 23 to a guy in his 50s. What a waste.
Anywho~ I prefer originals 99% of the time.

Pretty much all Flying Pickets covers are better than the originals, in my opinion. My favorite is probably their cover of Dylan's "Masters of War", but I couldn't find that online, so here's their biggest hit:

Not exactly covers, but brilliant nonetheless - "Weird Al" Yankovic
