Cover versions

Query for Poptimists!

Sometimes - quite often, in fact, I think - cover versions are miles better than the original. I put forth PSB's 'Where the Streets Have No Name'. I like this MUCH better than the U2 version!

Which cover versions do you think surpass the original flavour?

Grass Show's "All That She Wants" is better than the Ace Of Bass version.
Also, Death Cab For Cutie's version of "All Is Full Of Love" by Bjork.
And John Mayer's version of "Kid A" by Radiohead. Cause you can actually hear the lyrics.

You wouldn't happen to have a link for the Death Cab track, would you? Am curious...
