I often find when a song is redone whether it be remixed or covered that I like that version much better than the original. For example this one is a good example for me:

I absolutely CAN NOT STAND the original dippy hippy original version. Matter of fact its one of those songs I turn off after one or two seconds. But the dance remix seems to work so nicely with the singer's voice. I could listen to that version all day.
WAY better than the original

I like Paperlace's version of BILLY DON'T BE A HERO better than the hit version by BO DONALDSON AND THE HEYWOODS.
I think this is better than Bowie's version
