There are some songs that I don’t think can be covered better than the original. This is one. If you find any good covers of this song, please put it in the comments.

There are many songs that just can't be covered

Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love is another I think just can't be topped despite being so simple.

You should make a post about it.

I liked the finale of Pitch Perfect. Not sure that really counts as a cover though.

Perhaps you already know this but while the simple minds version isn't a cover, they didn't write it.

It was written for them by a composer and a producer pair.

I didn't know this, but a lot of hit songs happen like that.
