Beatle songs have thousands of covers, but do you prefer any of them to the Beatles version ?

If you do post them here

I love this


Jack Jones - I Want You

Klang:

This one's been mentioned a few times, and I actually kind of prefer it over the original...

Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 Fool on the hill

For me, off the top of my head, only two eclipse the originals:

'I Wanna Be Your Man' - The Rolling Stones
'Give Peace A Chance' (OK, so it's not The Beatles!) - Hot Chocolate Band (Apple, '69)

Mr Mustard:
Yes, only two come to mind for me as well:

Siouxsie & The Banshees' wonderfully dark and spangly version of "Dear Prudence" (if only The Beatles wispy original had had similar bite):

And Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas delivered a sharp, stylish take on "Do You Want To Know A Secret?" - The Fabs version sounds plodding and stilted by comparison:

Klang:

I think I'll add in Joe Cocker's 'She Came In Through The Bathroom Window' from 'Mad Dogs And Englishmen' as well. I kind of like it a bit better than the original.

'With A Little Help From My Friends' from 'Woodstock' is another contender, but I think I like the original just as well.

What was that one he did in the 'Across The Universe' movie? 'Come Together'?

A good interpreter.
