The standard:
If you are going to cover a song, rip it apart a bit and make it your own.
The original version of “This is the Day” by The The:
The remake, by Manic Street Preachers:

The original song is now thirty years old, which makes me feel old, but what is new.
I like the cover better than the original.
I like everything about the remake.
