Covers that are better than the originals

Holding hands in a circle of N-words
I unironically like Van Morrison's cover of Comfortably Numb a lot more than the original. Maybe because the original is really overplayed on the rock radio station on every jobsite. Whaddah I know container of coffee ham sandwich felch.
The cover is the better version, because Van Morrison's voice blows Roger Water's whispery vocals out of the water. When you listen to the chorus of the version that's on "The Last Waltz", Van Morrison stands out clear as a bell while you can barely hear Roger Waters in the mix.
