I love cover versions of songs. It's really interesting to hear other people's interpretations of stuff. I do a bit of it myself (may post something one of these days), and I usually start by checking out what other people have done.
This is one of my favourite versions of Sympathy For The Devil. The recording itself isn't brilliant but the energy and talent shines through #CoSoMusic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C16z-DBJvPU
Hell, let's make this a thread of song covers.
Feel free to add your own finds!

@66ALW99 That happens more often than not, But its not often that the writer of the song refuses to perform it again after a remake was done.
