Better than the original, and vice versa

Nice example of a cover song being better than the original: Rod Stewart's "Handbags and Gladrags" redone by Stereophonics. Experience for yourself:





Of note: The Stereophonics version, as some of you may know, is the theme song for the British version of "The Office." Unfortunately for NBC, the original is still the best when it comes to the TV comedy (but I have to imagine they're laughing all the way to the bank.)
