For many an original song that they love cannot and will not ever be duplicated by a cover, but there are many songs that have been done equally (debatebly) well by others..

So do you have favorites?

What are your favorite covers of favorite songs?

I think Elvis did a fine job, but I suggest you go back and check out Big Mama and her Les Paul.

"I Want Candy"--originally recorded in 1965 by the Strangeloves, a group of 3 American men pretending to be Australians. Their jungle pop sound was updated to new wave in 1982 by pop-punk English band Bow Wow Wow. The Burmese-English lead singer, 14-year-old Annabella Lwin, gave the song a feminine twist.
