What cover songs were better than the original versions?

Mary Had a LIttle Lamb by SRV better than the Buddy Guy version.

She Used to Say That to Me is better by George Strait than by Jim Lauderdale (both are good)

Song that was much better the first time: That song by The Neville Brothers "Free my soul I want to hear some rock'n roll" ( I don't know the real name). BUT WHO THE fuck told Uncle Cracker he was even in the same league as those boys. As a rule of thumb: if you suck at singing or have no talent, you shouldn't do well known covers.

It was originally done by Dobie Gray. The lyrics you're thinking of is "Give me the beat boys and free my soul, I want to get lost in your rock'n'roll and drift away..."

Oh I have one better than that: Faith Hill redid Janis Joplin's "Take another piece of my heart." When asked why the song was so terrible she said, "I didn't know anyone else had ever sung the song." How are you such a dumb cunt female singer that you hadn't heard the original of that song.. That took her hotness level down like 193 notches.

Piece of My Heart and Me and Bobby McGee are two songs I love. Joplin's voice is outstanding on both.
