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...

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.
