>The Kinks' Dave Davies has claimed to dislike Van Halen's rendition of the song, saying "There's the thing: good art isn't always about having the comfiest technique. I shouldn't encourage him, but I'm sure Eddie Van Halen played better when he was drunk." He also told of how a concert-goer approached him after a live show and congratulated him on performing a "great cover of the Van Halen song".[81] Ray Davies, on the other hand, claimed to like the track because it made him laugh.[82]

Michael Cera Palin's cover of if it makes you happy is my favorite cover of all time. It's not necessarily better than the origin but its a completely different genre (kind of, Country\pop to midwest emo)

The garage punk band Pussy Galore did a cover of the entirety of Exile On Main St. It completely destroys the original but whether or not it's in a good sense up to you. It made me laugh a lot.
