We fully agree the best cover of that song was The Beatles.

I've listened to it 20-30 times now and it still gets to me. Just one of those songs.

That's the one I was going to post. It is epic.

I can think of a bunch of them and here's one for sure. Jockey Full Of Bourbon by Joe Bonamassa "blows away" the original by Tom Waits

ANd while we are on an alcohol theme -
Joe Bonamassa - Sloe Gin. Better than the Tim Curry original. Not a song to listen to if you are depressed about something.

OK, many songs to go thru in this thread, but my favorite where the Cover is better:


original 2006 version:


The Zutons, Valerie ("ValeRIIIiiie"). The comments say, try playing the song at 1.25x


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3xpmfJp0Xc




Amy Winehouse, Valerie. ("ValaRAAAA-a-AAAAY") her unmistakable vocals.



Now Winehouse doesn't appear in the swing-poppy "official Mark Ronson video" because she died. Of a crack cocaine, heroin, and alcohol poisoning. So dont do drugs, kids. But an Epic vocal talent, who did not survive the Curse of 27... just like Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain.


I much prefer this slower version off the 2007 Back to Black album
