1. Actually, pretty much any Bob Dylan cover..

I mean, he's a lyrical genius and all, but he's absolute torture to listen to.

2. The Bangles version of "Hazy Shade of Winter".

Even Paul Simon thought their version superior.

3. Baby One More Time

Fountains of Wayne just Kills Britney Spears on this one...

Cake doing I Will Survive, better than Gloria Gaynor.

So there's 2 for you...

5. Such as Hendricks All Along the Watch Tower

or better yet. Brew and Shipley. all Along the Watch Tower.

"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

7. Bauhaus' versions of "Third Uncle" and "Ziggy Stardust" toast the originals.

Ziggy Stardust:

No disrespect to Bowie whatsoever is intended.

No video for third uncle.

9. Bauhaus?

They seem like a ripoff of Love and Rockets combined with Peter Murphy...

11. Without question, and points to the creator.

But Bauhaus did something special with it that I feel tops the original. I'm not biased, I just like that version better. To each their own!

10. i love this cover, it's totally different from the original but i think it's great.

i love the original still, it's almost like it's 2 different songs.
