dark songs with happy sounds is my favorite.

More examples: - "The Tide Is High", originally by The Paragons, then covered to big success by Blondie (and later by Atomic Kitten, but the less is said about that version, the better). - "Alone", originally by i-Ten, but massively improved by Heart (the "Till now" part they added to the pre-chorus makes all the difference). - "In The Army Now", originally by Bolland & Bolland, but considerably more famous in the Status Quo version. - "Don't Turn Around", a song that has been covered so many times, hardly anyone would even know that it was originally recorded by Tina Turner if they didn't look it up on Wikipedia. The more well-known covers are by Aswad, Bonnie Tyler and its original writer Albert Hammond, but the version with the highest chart success was by Swedish 1990s group Ace of Base. - "Always On My Mind" was first recorded by Brenda Lee, though Gwen McCrae's version was released first. Elvis Presley's version is the one most people would incorrectly identify as the "original", with two very successful covers (by Willie Nelson and the Pet Shop Boys, respectively) charting in the 1980s. - Though this might not qualify, "Take My Breath Away" was first recorded as a demo by The Motels, with Berlin being the band that released the official version for the Top Gun soundtrack (which was definitely the better choice). - "Barbara Ann" was first recorded by The Regents, but the Beach Boys version easily eclipses the original. - Arguably, Pat Benatar's version of "Wuthering Heights" is more famous in the United States than Kate Bush's original version. (With all respect to Pat, but Kate's version is something else entirely.) - "Killing Me Softly" was originally written and recorded by Lori Lieberman, but became more famous when covered by Roberta Flack and again when covered by The Fugees.

I want part three! Do "Crimson and Clover." Joan Jett takes that dreamy psychedelic vibe song and infuses it with lust, making it a whole 'nother thing. The first vocal sound in each version tells you what the song is going to be. Tommy James sings "Ahhh" quite softly and follows it with etherial guitar sounds. Joan Jett sings "Ahh" with longing and follows it up with loud rock guitar strumming. This song is my favorite example of how the same song can work in two completely different ways. One version makes you want to get high. The other makes you want Joan to sing that about you, lol.

Kind of funny that Ronson said Amy never listened to anything after 1967 when her hit "Rehab" is basically a musical love letter to Donny Hathaway who didn't start singing until 1969 (he'd been behind the boards with Curtis Mayfield's Curtom Records for a couple of years before then but his first vocal session didn't come until 1969). I mean, the lyric is "There's nothing you can teach me/That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway" (and her cover of "A Song for You" from the posthumous "Lioness" album even ends with a bit of commentary from Amy about Hathaway's singing style--that "he just couldn't contain himself").

It's really hard to deny that sometimes, a song comes before its time. Or there is the right key that makes one ho-hum. It could languish for years or months before someone else comes along. Relays the vocals to a different key, maybe their voice just rings better. Something happens and the song that seemed destined to be effectively forgotten, suddenly slaps harder than the five fingers to the face.

I think an honorable mention to tainted love would be Marilyn Manson's version adding another layer.

Part 3 would be great! I wonder if translations/adaptation fit into covers as well, cuz then Claude François is one big cover by himself...

Torn was by Ednaswap first en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torn_(Ednaswap_song)

On the Mark Ronson tip: “Oh My God,” originally by Kaiser Chiefs and then released by Mark with Lily Allen on vocals. Both versions are a real kick but the Ronson/Allen version was a bigger hit in the UK.

Joe Cocker's version of Ringo Starr's meh "With a Little Help From My Friends" has got to be in the top 5 'Covers That Overshadow the Original Song'. Cocker's recording even gets a little help from his friend (and Led Zeppelin legend) Jimmy Page. I'd also put DEVO's cover of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" in the top 10.

Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" has definitely overshadowed Leonard Cohen's in pop culture over the years IMO

I don't know if this cover outdoes the original pop masterpiece, but the Donna Summer version of McArthur Park has always been one of my favorites. The Richard Harrison version which I just re-listened to the other day is so incredible you would think it impossible to top, but Donna took it to a whole new level in the disco era when cover songs were everywhere.

One of the best covers ever is one of the oddest - California Dreamin'. It was written by John and Michelle Phillips of the Mama and the Papas, but it was first recorded by Barry McGuire, with the Mamas and the Papas doing backup duty. The single, which was a follow-up to McGuire's hit "Eve of Destruction," tanked, and the Mamas and the Papas recorded their version of it, which became a No. 1 hit.

I want it, I need it!

An example I want to bring to this is Mambo Number 5 by Lou Bega The original song was a simple instrumental mambo piece from the 1940s, while the cover added lyrics and a whole bunch of 1999-isms

Oceans of Slumber- Solitude. And that's saying something.

Its saying very little, they ruined an already awful song

Please mention (in case you haven't), Cake's version of "I will survive", one of the best cover versions from the 90s. Their solo at the end of the song is memorable

When you mentioned Valerie, I thought you meant the Valerie/Call On Me duo of songs

That’s not a cover, that’s a sample from the song :)
