Devos rendition of (I can't get no) Satisfaction really turns a mediocre song into something special.
For a particularly recent example, I think Maphra's cover of Doomed by Bring Me The Horizon is fantastic.
Yesssssss
Basically every Rolling Stone's song as a cover is better than the original.
Pretty much every song in Elite Beat Agents. Tbf, they get a very interactive emotional buildup to each song. Some examples:
- September
- Canned Heat
- You’re the Inspiration
- The Anthem
- Jumping Jack Flash
This a pretty controversial one, but Remix to Ignition was way better than Ignition. It was nice having something so hot and fresh out the kitchen.

Remixes are bit of weird thing, because depending on the genre the original release might already include remixes. See here: https://basskruit.bandcamp.com/album/kopstoot-ep ("Ketel (Requake Remix)" is my favourite on that EP)
I do enjoy it when the remix or cover completely changes the song's genre. Anyone up for metal remixes of pop songs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jfpsiLx21k&list=RD8jfpsiLx21k
Skream's remix of La Roux's "In for the kill" is a true classic IMO. Hey, that's the second La Roux remix in this thread!

It's fun that it exists. Props to Tori. But it's not very good.

Almost all elvis songs. Rock was to unrefined in that period.
Foo Fighters covering "Down in the Park" by Gary Numan. They take an already haunting song and make it more haunting.
