I Heard It Through The Grapevine (Marvin Gaye & The Slits)
None of these is the original though. The song was first recorded by Gladys Knight & The Pips.
Another one:
Louie Louie (Richard Berry & The Kingsmen)
The fact that 3 of the top 10 songs of all time at AM are actually covers is something that I personally cannot understand.
Re: songs where both the cover and the original made the list
I just remembered another
Take me to the River (Al Green and Talking Heads)
never mind all the hundreds of recorded and re-recorded jazz standards and hip hop songs that sample an entire song and just lay a couple verses overtop (Puff Daddy, I'm looking at you).

Some more:
Blue Moon of Kentucky: Bill Monroe & Elvis
Hound Dog: Big Mama Thornton & Elvis
Walk This Way: Aerosmith & Run-DMC (not sure if this actually counts, since Aerosmith plays on both...)
"Crossroads" by Cream is basically a straight cover of Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues.
And, if you allow for the different lyrics, Surfin' USA is basically a cover of Chuck Berry's Sweet Little Sixteen.
