Has there been a cover song that was better then the original one?

I know I’m in the minority but Becks Africa and David Lee Roth California girls are both good.

Our song is "Unchained Melody," and there have been several covers that are better than the original version in the 1955 movie.

Yes, Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence, Rachid Taha's cover of Rock the Casbah, and of course, Sinead O'Connor's cover of Nothing Compares 2 U

Ike & Tina Turner's Proud Mary cover, of course.
