"Cover versions"

Anybody know of any cover versions that they feel are on a par with or better than the original?

Some that I feel are on a par with the originals are

Faith No More - Easy (orig. Commodores)
Ugly Kid Joe - N.I.B. (orig. Black Sabbath)

... and some that are better ...

Faith No More - Warpigs (orig. Black Sabbath)
Faith No More - This Guy's In Love With You (orig. Burt Bacharach)
Kula Shaker - Hush (orig. Deep Purple)

I liked Oasis' version of Slade's Come On Feel The Noise. I thought Oasis' version was the best out of the two.

I didn't know they'd covered it until I saw that documentary on Slade the other night on BBC1 - they said it sounded more like an Oasis track than a Slade one and I was inclined to agree!
