First song to pop into my head: Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
Any other songs where the cover is better than the original? I know it's a matter of taste, but I'm curious anyway... |

Travis - Hit Me Baby One More Time (obviously!)
Alanis Morisette - My Humps
The last one just goes to show that Alanis Morisette could sing from a phone book and make it sound soulful. |

I hated that cover, I had no idea whether she was being sincere or ironic or sarcastic or what. |

I just thought it was depressing. I'd much rather listen to the original. Not that thats brilliant either. |

I like it... I don't like original, and the cover points out just how stupid the lyrics are. I think she just did for the fun of it. |

Was Sinead O'Connor's version not a cover from a Prince song in the first place? |
