A cover song is a song performed by someone else besides the original artist, it doesnt necesseraly mean its better than the original, but sometimes It's HELLA GOOD!
now, my favorite cover songs are usually by lily allen and garbage - bow to the rockness -, sia does and amazing job on "I Go To Sleep" posted earlier, and paramores redhead queen.
john lennon, oasis, no doubt, garbage, lily allen, squeeze, sting, the clash, britney, michael and many many others are performers who's songs were covered, shows like glee are famous for doing it, but its either hit or mess, never in between, they did a great job in defying gravity and don't stop believing - which i dont like much, i personally perferf mercy and rehab -, but they did an awful job on many songs, one being one of my ultimate favs "smile - lily allen".
here's a couple of covered songs, listen to them and see if you like the original more.
