Favorite cover?

When I was composing my post in the ongoing "One Hit Wonder" thread I was reminded of the cover of "Harlem Nocturne" by The Viscounts, which was released in both 1959 and 1966. A totally unique and IMO fantastic cover of an old jazz standard.

(I suspect that the speaking which follows the recording is from the soundtrack of the 1983 film "Christine," which used The Viscounts’ recording in its soundtrack).

I'm pretty sure that Aretha's version of YMMFLANW pre-dated Carole's by years so that's not really a cover as I understand it. 

In no particular order-
Rolling Stones - Cherry oh Baby
David Grey - One With the Birds
What a Wonderful World - The Ramones
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

oh and Viva Las Vegas - Shawn Colvin

This is a fun thread and a source for a lot of good music!
