Sia's version of 'California Dreaming' (which I prefer)
The Mamas and the Papas version (which was good in its time).

Since we're doing covers how about ripoff's.

I remember when that hit the news. I thought they were similar but only if you played with the track speeds. But whatever. Sam Smith is a dickless little ninny. Here's some people with actual talent.

The original Springsteen version no question whatsoever.

I grew up on RATM but I'm partial to both.
Not sure if the cover counts as one since it includes the original's singer. bUt still an interesting version nonetheless.

As covered by the cocain brothers or Joe Perry and the demon of screamin 
An excellent LIVE preformance. Don't care what you think of Aerosmith, they are one of the better live shows.

Then of course we have this, possibly the most covered song of all time and TBH every one of those hundreds of covers is better than the original. 
I know it's been covered dozens of times, even Leonard came out with two different versions. But I just found this one and it's really good!
I like that they've picked and chosen the verses between the different versions that make sense for a woman to sing. I've heard a couple of ladies cover this tune that haven't done that and it kind of ruins it. For me anyway.
Enjoy!

^^ That's a great version.
I still think the most powerful version was KD Lang at the Vancouver Olympics:

Yep, that's the one most point to. The part that bugs me is she sang the "moved in you" verse.
Kind of what I was talking about, those three are the first I've heard tailor the song for a woman to sing by picking and choosing which verses to include/leave out of Leonard's two different versions.

Oddly enough it's this guy that does the best version I've heard. Seriously.

Puddles version is... different. It's good, just a little artsy for me? I guess? I dunno.
Listened to the KD version just cause it was posted here, and she doesn't do that verse. So WTF, I distincly remember listening to that a long time ago then hearing her sing that verse and being taken right out of it. Must be another version floating around.
I like the one posted on this thread!
