A song murdered by someone.

Is there a cover version of a song you like by the original artist that has been in your ears truly murdered by a covering artist?
Mine is 'Everybody Knows' by Leonard Cohen, absolutely murdered by Barb Jungr.

However I beg to differ and stick my neck out by confirming that Nazareth’s version was artisticly more poignant by the rough edgy voice of Dan McAfferty, the style he sang the song and how he bought out the core meaning of the song, pure gut wrenching stuff, a tearjerker, one could believe the singer went through the mill and back, relating his experience to the listener.
