Good-ass cover songs

'Jolene' by Dolly Parton, slowed down.
Haunting.

Jolene is an emotionally charged haunting song at any speed, but think that it was actually written by Dolly Parton. She also wrote, "I will always love you", which other artists have successfully covered.

Of course, whenever I see impressive guitar work, I always think about Roy Clark and his cover of Malagueña

I'm really disappointed that this isn't a cover of the S.O.D. version.

Since we're deep in the realm of metal covers of pop songs, I submit this club classic:

Also I gotta admit that I'm stone cold impressed that no one has suggested any of the hundreds of versions of "Hallelujah." because they all suck ass compared to the original.

I feel we have wandered away from GOOD cover songs into just any random shit people have found on intarwebz.
