"Better covers".....List the remakes you think are better than the original! [View all]

I was just smitten by this version of Black Hole Sun by Norah Jones...

Till I stumbled onto that my only better than the original cover was Cowboy Junkies sweet Jane. It played in the Natural Born Killers movie and was the best of that film at least for me.

Better covers anyone?
