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...

Axel Rudy Pell's rock rendition of In the Air Tonight is outstanding...and an excellent recording as well. Phil Collins would be pleased!
