Remakes of classic songs that surpass the original?

CCR - heard it thru the grapevine

Every cover of a Bob Dylan song.

Loco-Motion.
That song went through some interesting changes.
In the early 60s, I remember my big sisters teaching me dance moves to Little Eva's version of it.
In the 70s, my high school years, Grand Funk Railroad did the very BEST version of it in my opinion.
Still? I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised that it was dusted off and brought up out of the basement (another basement, Stratego) in the 90s! Kylie Minogue made it popular again when my son was in high school. While he and his friends preferred the Grand Funk Railroad cover, as do I, I have to say that for a while there, I was bopping along to Kylie's version every time it came on the radio.
As the kids on American Bandstand use to say, "It's got a nice beat and you can dance to it." 😊
All three recordings were fun, but this is the best...
