Did you know that Soft Cell's version was a copy of Gloria Jones' original?
Soft Cell's version was played in all the clubs in Leeds for about a year before it became a hit.

A slowed down different take of "Take on me".
Proverbs 17:9
One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.

Re: Cover versions that are better than the original
Not sure about better, but cracking versions with great vocals.
Mary's done some great covers.
Such a shame Chris isn't around anymore he bossed this whilst looking like he's not even trying

@Supermofo - nice. She's got a hint of Allison Krauss in her voice.
Really like Cornell's version of nothing Compares 2U

Re: Cover versions that are better than the original
Here's an odd one.
I really like the Damned but a like this cover for some reason.
Most people would pick Live an let die as a Guns 'N Roses cover of choice

Re: Cover versions that are better than the original
Chris Cornell's cover of Led Zep's "Thank You" is awesome
I'm not sure if this counts as a cover because it's Springsteen doing a Springsteen song, but Tom Morello's contribution changes the whole feel of the song for the better

He's got a proper classic 60's rock voice, surprised he wasn't more 'successful'.

No, and I probably won't try any more of your recommendations.

Re: Cover versions that are better than the original
Anyone could do this better than the fucking pub singer and his band that did it originally, but I also happen to like it.
