Original was performed by Iggy Pop but Bowie co-wrote the song.

Original was written and sung by Stevie Wonder. Posted the two songs as tributes to two great musicians we lost this year but really also like these covers better then the original versions.

Also Misirlou, but that one has a lot of candidates. (I was just listening to it last night)

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Not a cover, but just better without vocals imo.

Didn't even know this was a cover until a few days ago. Its one of Tina Turners best songs from the 80s and its better then Ann Peeples original from 1973. There is also a 1978 disco version by the band Eruption which I just found out about and like better then the original also.
