Whats your favorite cover song?

This has been asked before, but not in awhile.

I was surfing Facebook and someone posted this cover of the Friends theme song “I’ll be There For You” by the Rembrandts. I thought it was pretty cool, and it got me thinking about really impressive covers of songs and how it’s sometimes the cover that makes it big when the original did not. In general, I hate covers and I think the new artist usually ruins the song, but there are some really good ones out there, too.

Here are my favorite covers:

Whitney Houston’s cover of “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton

Sinead O’Connor’s cover of “Nothing Compares 2 U” by Prince

The Fugees’ cover of “Killing Me Softly,” first recorded by Roberta Flack

Jeff Buckley’s cover of “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts’’ cover of “I Love Rock ‘N Roll” by The Arrows

So, what are your favorite covers? They don’t have to be more popular than the original or even well known at all. It could be someone covering a song on YouTube, even. Links would be awesome.
