Song Covers you prefer to the original

I know that this is a very polarized subject, but I always preferred the Guns N Roses cover of Sympathy For The Devil. I'm not trying to insight an argument here, but my reasoning is thus: Firstly, it was the first one I heard back when I was a young child, so I've always considered it the original. Secondly, I've come to associate it with the awesome revitalizing of Lestat in Interview With The Vampire, as it's playing during the finale.
Whatever the reason, I've just always preferred it. I may be a philistine, and I do acknowledge the Rolling Stones version is also phenomenal, but that's just me I suppose.

Post humorously? Like after it was funny? Did you mean posthumously? Because Leonard isn't dead, and Buckley's version was a hit before he took his little swim. Anyway I like Leonard more, but I quite like the French version of "Dance Me To The End Of Love", by Madeleine Peyroux. You may have heard it if you played the Saboteur. I also like Nina Simone's version of "Mosquitos Tweeter" better than Tina's. However I want to restrain myself from posting too many video'sTeeBs said:

Interesting (love the chorus).

...I think the MCR and The Used's cover of 'Under Pressure' is better than the original...I never really liked Queen...style of music is just...weird, all over the place for me...
I will admit I do like 'Don't Stop Me Now'
Don't hurt me Escapist...

Yes, Johnny's "Hurt" and Jeff's "Hallelujah" are fantastic covers. I'll throw in Guns 'n Roses' cover of "Sympathy For The Devil" over the original Rolling Stones' version.
And, just because someone mentioned "Ooops", I'll give you "Baby One More Time" by Ahmet and Dweezil Zappa.
And also Reel Big Fish's "Kiss Me Deadly".
