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...

Jimi Hendrix' version of "All Along The Watchtower" probably surpasses Dylan, IMHO.

Bryan Ferry's/Roxy Music's versions of "Like A Hurricane" (Neil Young) and "Jealous Guy" (John Lennon) have been favorites for 20+ years.
