What British Invasion covers you think trumps the original American R&B song?

Ok I am going to get some flack for saying this but one song is Dave Clark Five version of "Do You Love Me".

I'm a Man and Train Kept a Rollin'--The Yardbirds (Arguably the best British band to do R&B covers
House of the Rising Sun--The Animals
Please Mr. Postman, Money, Twist and Shout--The Beatles
Just My Imagination, i Just Want to Make Love to You--The Rolling Stones (I want to say It's All Over Now as well, but I don't know if I ever heard the original)

honorable mention: Train in Vain--The Clash
