What's your favorite remake of a song

Okay, I've been posting both amusing and serious covers.

In the seriously good category, I like the entire album of covers of Carpenters songs: "If I Were a Carpenter" by various alternative rock artists. I particularly liked Redd Kross' cover of "Yesterday Once More," Sonic Youth's "Superstar," Shonen Knife's "Top of the World" and Crakers "Rainy Days and Mondays."

Does anyone else like Johnny Cash's cover of Trent Reznor's "Hurt?"

Although I really like the original much more, Emmylou Harris' cover of Dylan's "Every Grain of Sand" is terrific too.

Check out Devo's "Working in a Coal Mine". Also, view Devo's first appearance on Saturday Night Live in, I think, 1977, 78 at the latest. Kinda like a Beatles and Elvis on the Ed Sullivan Show moment - a culture defining moment announcing the arrival of the Punk Movement to the U.S.A.
