Cover versions you think were better than the originals

I'm sure Elvis fans reckon his version of Hound Dog was better than Big Mama Thornton's, but she managed 7 weeks at the top of the American charts.
 
I know these tv show "talents" generally get a bad press, and I know she's a bit of a pound shop Whitney, but I think she put her own mark on this tune and did a decent job.
 
And I'll never tire of this. I love pulp but this is better than the original, by miles.
