A song beloved by millions of billions of people around the world.
I do think that songs can be bettered, though. The Nirvana 'Lake Of Fire' above is a great example. The Beatles bettered The Isley Brothers' 'Twist and Shout' and I personally think John Mellencamp bettered Van Morrison's 'Wild Night.'
