You really got me. Van Halen

There is an urban legend that someone said to Ray Davies, that the Kinks did a good cover of the Van Halen song.

Her Angel of the Morning is also a good one. OTOH some of the earlier versions are really good too:

Maybe not a "better cover" but an interesting one-off:
Geddy Lee, Les Claypool & Sean Lennon - Tomorrow Never Knows (Beatles)

This is kind of a cheat, but White Comedian Paul Shanklin - Banking Queen

Have you seen them before? If not, all the rumors are true.

Frankie Laine sings the best version of Hey, Joe!. He has heavyweight backing in the form of Paul Weston's orchestra and the Norman Luboff choir.

Tutti Frutti--The Four Jones Boys (1956)--almost as good as Pat Boone's version.

Manfred Mann’s cover of Springsteen’s Blinded by the Light...even if “Duece” is screwed up.
