I don't necessarily think its better than the original (if anything its a very close second), but I really love Twenty One Pilots version of Cancer by My Chemical Romance. Its very calm and sad and very fitting for the subject of the song.

Sometimes, after hearing a song for so many years and so many thousands of times it's refreshing to just get a different take on it, like these:

^ Times two, Plankton! That's why I found this cover of Cat Steven's song so interesting. Labelle's inventive input takes the song to a new level, a new genre that CS prob never imagined. A brilliant version which is spoiled a bit by the talking sections that take the lyrics more literally than they were (i suspect) intended:-

Covers that truly surpass the original are rare in my opinion, songwriters generally have the best feel for their own material.

That being said, every cover on Warm Leatherette and Nightclubbing except for Use Me. Grace Jones just has the natural ability to make any song her own.
