what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original?

Mr. Bojangles/Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The first ones to come to mind are Whitney’s version of I Will Always Love You and Allen Stone’s Georgia On My Mind but I would love to hear other contributions as well! I feel like there are a lot of songs where a covered version gets more popular than the original and people end up not realizing that it is a cover (ex. i had a friend that genuinely believed the Jonas Brothers wrote Year 3000). so, what‘a a song that was written by one artist but (figuratively) owned by another?

I got this,...

"Wild Horses" Shawn Colvin

All Along the Watchtower by Tom Landa & the Paperboys. Beats the snot out of all the other versions I've heard.
