The Eartha Kitt original is the best version but I think Gwen Stefani comes pretty close.

Feeder's cover of Can't Stand Losing You by The Police. Sting himself also liked the cover.

It's also the last song that the band would have officially released before the original drummer committed suicide (it's on CD2 of the Just A Day single) which is... a rather harrowing coincidence, to say the least, given the song in itself is about a friend committing suicide and the guilt being on someone else's mind forever - which is exactly the intention Jon had at the time of his suicide in January 2002, to spite his wife in an impulsive fit of anger (and also make band member/frontman Grant Nicholas to blame as they had been on somewhat poor terms at the time, Grant ignored Jon's final call to him 20 minutes before he hung himself)

There was a cover by the power metal group Iron Savior on their album Condition Red back in 2002 that I love so much. Crazy as it seems, it was a cover of, well, Crazy by Seal. Have a listen; I think you'll agree that Piet Sielck really sells the damn song.

It's not anything even close to an unpopular opinion, but I find the Run-DMC cover of "Walk This Way" to be on par with the original. The cover is the perfect marriage of hip hop and rock, and from a historical standpoint it helped revive Aerosmith in the mainstream.

The original "Walk This Way:"


The Run-DMC Cover (featuring Steven Tyler and Joe Perry):

Jings Crivens... That cannot be real???

I'd say this counts as a cover. Sonic 2 Boss theme is a legendary EDM tune by Westbam

I was alive when the Beatles first came over to US but very young, I was a fan early on but about 10-15 years back I heard a live version of I am the Eggman (Beatles) covered by the Styx.

I didn't think it possible that anyone could better the song, it was live on a morning show, in N.Y.C. I was living in that part of the country a.t.m. and to hear it covered [in their own style] b-l-e-w m-e a-w-a-y. I truly think Styx did a better job of it (that day).

One of my favourite bands dropped this a bit over a year ago.

The original is by Eddie Murphy, written by Rick James.

The group I just posted has covered "I am the Eggman" at live shows. I didn't catch it but my brother took a video.

It's actually I Am The Walrus and Oasis done the best cover
