Bizarre Love Triangle. The original is some very bad pop music. New Years Day brought it not only to rock, but into being really good too.
Taste aside, some of y'all really need to learn the definition of obscure.
Meh, I saw this as an excuse to talk about something I wanted to
The Breeders "Drivin' on 9" was a cover of song by an obscure band called Ed's Redeeming Qualities. The Breeders version is IMO sweet and meloncholy but the original is rather weird.
Collective Soul covered the Morphine song You speak my language
"House of the Rising Sun" has been covered numerous times. The most known version is from The Animals. I was today years old when I learned that this is the original version of the song. However, my personal favourite cover version is from BTO.
Another well-executed cover version is of the song "Johnny B. Goode", covered by Peter Tosh, beause it is tranferred into a different music genre.

Two that are not at all obscure to but often overshadowed by their covers... i love the Four Seasons version of Beggin - https://youtu.be/d5AfvOk57bE?feature=shared
Same for the Everly Brothers doing Love Hurts - https://youtu.be/hFE2SnliiV0?feature=shared
Edit to add - i didn't know Peace, Love, and Understanding was Nick Lowe's.
Bowling For Soup covered 1985 as the original came from SR-71

Probably The Man Who Sold the World covered by Midge Ure, which I find much better than Bowies original or the famous Nirvana cover.
Also really like Renegades cover by 36 Crazyfists.
