I can't believe that I am the first to mention the Fine Young Cannibals covers of "Ever Fallen in Love" or "Suspicious Minds"

Did the King of Rock'n'Roll cover any song? I'm pretty sure, it would be better than the original.

PS:
Researched a bit: The King did a lot cover versions. Examples:
Blue Moon
His Latest Flame (besides Blue Suede Shoes one of my most favorite Elvis songs).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(Marie's_the_Name)_His_Latest_Flame:

"(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame" is a song recorded in a hit version by Elvis Presley and published by Elvis Presley Music in 1961. It was written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman and first recorded by Del Shannon on the album Runaway With Del Shannon, which was released in June 1961.

Blue Suede Shoes has a funny background:

In another version, Perkins played a dance on December 4, 1955, and noticed a couple dancing near the stage. Between songs, he heard the boy scold his partner, "Uh-uh, don't step on my suedes!" Looking down, he saw that the boy was wearing blue suede shoes and one had a scuff mark. Perkins was amused to see that the boy cared more about his shoes than the pretty girl he was with, and began working on a song about the incident that night.

Blue Moon Of Kentucky
Hound Dog
Baby Let’s Play House
Good Rockin’ Tonight
You’re Right, I’m Left, She’s Gone
Harbor Lights-and probably 20 more

Elvis always had an ear for a good tune.

I've always had a soft spot for this one.

There’s lots of good covers of Summertime, don’t know if I could pick a favorite, but Billy Stewart’s skat version definitely shares a space at the top of the list.



Charles Bradley made Neal Young’s Heart of Gold and Black Sabbath’s Changes his own and better

I had not heard the Julio Iglesias version of "La Mer" until hearing it at the end of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy".

If you haven't seen the movie, you may want to hold off on the video until you do.

Pretty much anything covered by Nina Hagen.
