A song murdered by someone.

Is there a cover version of a song you like by the original artist that has been in your ears truly murdered by a covering artist?
Mine is 'Everybody Knows' by Leonard Cohen, absolutely murdered by Barb Jungr.

Not me. The Righteous Brothers version has way more soul. Bobby Hatfield kills it. It makes Al’s sound like Wonder Bread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiiyq2xrSI0 Even live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYj2hex99gY

He just puts a lot more real emotion into it, IMHO, of course. I’m a strong believer that there’s no right or wrong answer in what music one prefers.
