Even though I love Queen I've always thought that Dwight Yoakam's cover of Crazy Little Thing Called Love was better than the original.

The Kills version of Pale Blue Eyes is better than the original Velvet Underground song. Great song.

This Trent Reznor Karen O version of the immigrant song is better than the original.

actually it destroys the original's bittersweet, nostalgic quality

It definitely changes the tone but sometimes it's cool to hear the same lyrics from a different perspective. Open your mind man.

Just heard Pale Blue Eyes for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Not really sure what made me randomly look up VU, but not sure why I haven't listened before now. Have played it at least once a day since. Great song.
