Best covers of songs, that are actually better than the original version?

[Rye - U (Serenity)]

Anywho?

Goldfinger did an amazing cover of 99 red balloons that combines the English and German beautifully, better than the originals in my opinion. Lemon demonds cover of bicycle race probably equals Queens original... Zebraheads cover of spice girls wannabe is WAY better than the original...

Easy Star All-Stars did a really good "tribute" to Pink floyd with their album "Dub Side of the Moon". Was it better? No. But I've been listening to the same old album for decades. It was great to hear something different, but the same.

yes, I like when artist can put a spin on it and make it sound their own, without trying hard to sound exactly the same.

Thank you. I used to listen to Johnny Cash's version religiously. He def topped NIN on that one. Tool and faith no more! That's what i'm talking about!

Taps Mugadza's cover of Writing's on the Wall (from Spectre). Greatly prefer it over Sam Smith's original.
