I love the Etta James version of I Got You Babe that’s found new life on the Walmart ads. Way better than the original by Sonny and Cher.

I always thought ZZ Top's version of " I thank you" was b*d*ss

Then of course there's this. No disrespect to Phil and the rest of Thin Lizzy...

Certainly better than Clapton, but Marley? Seriously?

All they’re doing is mimicing Lizzy’s arrangement; it’s an auld tune, lad…

Foghat’s version was horrible, they just bludgeoned the song, the Stones gave it the hyper Bo Diddley treatment, it was OK for what it was, but how does that one improve on Muddy Waters’ original? His was all sex and atmosphere.

No, explain how it’s an improvement. All I hear is an unexceptional reading of the tune that adds nothing.
