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

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?

"Spanish Moon" (Little Feat) by Gov't Mule...Warren Haynes puts some ass into this classic song meant to be driven hard live....and the Mule delivers. And yes, this is a very bold statement considering the world knows the song from the epic live double-album "Waiting for Columbus", one of the best live albums ever released.
