Cover versions you think were better than the originals

Down in the Park (Numan/Tubeway)

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

 

[East Level 2]

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.

Was much better with Myles Kennedy I reckon.

Also love this live version of Eddie Floyd BIG BIRD by the jam

​

I love The Jam's version of Get Yourself Together on the Extras album. I prefer it to the Small Faces original. It transpired that Paul Weller re-recorded the vocal track and dubbed it onto the 1980 recording that appears on Extras.

Not seen/ heard that before. I like it.
Both good efforts in their own way.
