Cover versions that are better than the original
This could be a pretty contentious thread.
Put up cover versions you think are just as good, if not better, than the original.
I'll kick it off with this one.
To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional
Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
What could possibly go wrong.

Anything by Kris Kristofferson!
(He wrote some good songs (Bobby McGee, Sunday morning coming down, etc) but by hell, he couldn't sing)

Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt, originally by Nine Inch Nails. Probably the only video clip to ever leave me with goosebumps.
I remember reading about when Trent Reznor first heard it/watched the video clip, he said something along the lines of "wow, it's like I've just lost my girlfriend, that song isn't mine anymore".
