I like Atari's version of Boys of Summer more than the original (Don Henley) version. Ditto non-Leonard Cohen versions of Hallelujah (I like Cohen, and love "Suzanne" but his Hallelujah doesn't do it for me).
It's been driving me crazy recently when I get excited thinking A-Ha's Take on Me is coming on the radio but then it turns out to be a stupid Pitbull (?) song. The only time I haven't been disappointed by a rap using a hook like that was Jay-Z's Young Forever (using the best parts of Alphaville's Forever Young).
