Birdy's cover of The National's "Skinny Love" The first time I heard it (on vinyl), I had tears welling up in my eyes. Did you hear that @n80? ??
Cover songs that are better than the originals.
There is an active thread about terrible cover songs so I thought I'd start one about cover songs that are better than or have completely eclipsed the originals. I'll start:
Randy Newman wrote Momma Told Me Not to Come for Eric Burdon who recored it with the Animals and Newman recorded it too. I have the Newman version and like it but Three Dog Night really seem to capture the mood of the song best in my opinion.
