ITT: Insanely popular songs that are surprisingly inferior covers of the original

Here's another '50s gem. This was covered by Ella Mae Morse and Bill Haley & The Comets. Ella's version is meh for the reasons already mentioned that it doesn't work when sung by a woman.

I can't even fathom how much I'd fucking seethe if I made a banger song, and then some random girl covered it barely changing anything about the song itself or the singing, and then THAT cover became an insane hit
Hope RAF gets a shitton of royalties
