I'll start with Screamin' Jay Hawkins doing Tom Waits' Heartattack and Vine

Talking about Screamin Jay Hawkins, Nina Simone's version of "I Put a Spell on You" is about a million times better than his.

Personally I prefer The Beat's cover of "I Can't Get Used to Losing You" over Andy William's.

I expect to have to defend this choice...

Edit- I must confess Springsteen does it better live, but I prefer the Frankie album version.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood had a couple of great covers:

Born to Run http://www.youtube.c...h?v=BTStMImOtuU

and

San Jose http://www.youtube.c...h?v=_0YS0Ll91NM

Edited to say Jonesy has good taste and beat me to it.

Baggy, I'm not angry, I'm sad.

At the time it came out, I'd never heard the original but absolutely loved the song. The 12" original has its place somewhere amongst my vinyl, but I've always secretly preferred this version.
