Quinn The Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)
So that we finally have an entry beginning with Q :)
Edit: It's quite hard to decide here, which is cover and which one is original. Bob Dylan wrote this song, Manfed Mann first recorded it in 1968 and two years later Bob Dylan released it on his album.

Comments about Quinn The Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn):
Manfred Mann took what is obviously a joke song and made it way too serious and hippy dippy. Dylan's version fits the lyrics better. You get a sense that he's barely keeping a straight face through the song. And the Band's drunken-sounding backup vocals add to the chaos.

In this case, Manfred Mann actually made something more interesting out of what is, after all, a minor Dylan effort.

Dylan is a great singer.. just unorthodox... with very few exceptions, his originals are FAR superior to covers

Dylan should stick to writing (which he's great at)and give up singing
