Covers that are better than the original

I know a lot of people have the mentality that "nothing beats the original" but I respectfuly disagree.

If you do too, post a cover you think beats the original recording.

I'll start:

Run - Leona Lewis (Originally by Snow Patrol)

oooh, nice thread! and I love Leona Lewis version of Run, though think I would still just slightly lean towards Snow Patrol.

One of my fave covers is a song not many have probably heard, David Bowie 'Try Some, Buy Some'

This is the original version by George Harrison

EDIT: for an experiment, I just tried listening to both at the same time, sort of like a duet between Bowie and Harrison! :D ......... yeah, it sounded shit
