Covers equal to or better than the "Original Hit"

[GrimSurfer]

Devo's rendition of Secret Agent Man is better than the Johnny Rivers' original. The original is predictively rhythmic and glorifies government work and senseless ideologies. The redux is irreverent, using discordant lyrics and rhythm to underscore the frequent stupidity of government..

I like the Les Chats Noirs one!

 

[GO-NAD!]

Great cover of the Stones' "Under My Thumb"...if you can overlook Streetheart's glam pretensions. Nice guitar solo halfway through.
