The Twitter prompt I always fall for is "what song's cover is better than the original?" because I love cover songs and always want to hear more. And my answer is always that the Indigo Girls' Romeo & Juliet blows the Dire Straits version out of the water. It's just better when it's suffused with lesbian longing!

Romeo & Juliet is one of my very favorite songs. I had never heard the Indigo Girls' version until just now.. it's incredible!!

Recently found this cover of “in my life” by Astrud Gilberto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KceExqqHT0

I’m also a huge fan of cover songs, and am always looking for some of these older artists who would record these covers to help fill some of their albums.
