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
