Most covers are worse than the original, but there are rare exceptions. IMO:

Divinyls 'Ill make you happy' > Easybeats
Psuedo Echo 'Funkytown' => Lipps Inc (or a tie at the very least)
The Byrds 'Mr Tambourine Man' >>>>> Dylan version
The Angels 'We gotta get outa this place' => The Animals (just)

So much better than the very ordinary original and gorgeous film clip

Agree with that list and happy you said a tie at very least for Funky Town, both Lipps Inc and Psuedo Echo's are very different but both are great, love both of them.
Yes also We Gotta Get Out Of This Place, both The Angels and The Animals are excellent.
