    There are plenty that I like better than the original. Sometimes it's because I didn't really like the original at all.

    They Might Be Giants doing Tubthumping:
    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JAAbuGX-qEY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Dr. Dog doing Heart it Races. I don't like Dr. Dog normally, nor do I like the original song or the original band. But I love this cover.

    <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0QvJ3dXqmvw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    This may be one of the greatest covers ever. It doesn't really matter what I think of the original, because this cover is simply amazing. It's done by Reggie Watts.

    Anyone ever heard of Noah Guthrie? He's got tons of covers on YouTube and has one album out (orginals)

    This is his best cover I think.

    Excellent choice.

    Two by Devo. I love both of these because they made them their own and didn't try and just duplicate what someone else had already done.

    Are you Experienced?
