Covers that are better than the original
Is the mask put over the head before or after you visit the Cyrus dealer?
That's IMHO, of course...

Absolutely...
I'm off to defrock a Leema. 
A few that spring to mind:
Johnny Cash - Hurt
The Gourds - Gin & Juice
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (I know, i'm sorry, but I think it's better)
Tim Buckley - Dolphins
Robert Wyatt - Shipbuilding
Nick Cave - Stagger Lee (not really a cover, but my favourtite verison of the many variations)
And i believe, that Because The night was a co-written song - so doens't really count, although I do agree that Smith's version IS better that the Springsteen version.
Shaun Marin
Brand Manager - Bowers & Wilkins
Im going to be controversial here...
Linkin Park > Adele - Rolling in the Deep
Although Adele has a remarkable voice, I think Linkin Parks acoustic version from the 2011 iTunes festival has so much more heart to it. Who would have thought someone so screamy and angsty to sing so pretty?
Defrock me a Leema – I'll be back in time for breakfast!
Fire and Water The Answer ( Free ) not sure if its better but its veryvery good
Defrock me a Leema – I'll be back in time for breakfast!
Huh, well I was about to say there's a new series of Red Dwarf on Dave starting tomorrow night at 9 (and in HD!) but that's kind of taken the wind out of my sails...

Getting back on topic, that reminds me. Nigel Planer did a cover of 'Hole in my shoe' which was pretty whacky.

Put a cover over a Cyrus amp and it looks better. Put something over your head and...can you see where I'm going with this?
How do you expect him to see where you're going, he's got a big mask covering his face!
G N R - Live And Let Diiiiieeeeeeee - oooohhhhh yeah!
Nick Cave - In The Ghetto
Kate Bush - Rocket Man
June Tabor - Don't Think Twice
+ 1 for Jeff Buckley Hallelujah and for his version of Lilac Wine
