What's your favorite remake of a song

I know most remakes fall short of the original, but I suspect that it's usually due to the fact that the original was known and popular. The remake usually pales by comparison, but I've heard a few things lately that I really liked, and wondered what others have enjoyed...

Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" on Grace. This song absolutely blew me away the first time I heard it and it's not even the best song on the album.
Three great cover albums are:
Annie Lennox -- Medusa
k.d. lang -- Hymns From The 49th Parallel
Patti Smith -- Twelve

How about Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, I'm going to paint our bedroom tomorrow and this one of their cds will be spinning for sure. Nothin but souped up covers of classic oldies.
