"Birdhouse in Your Soul" as covered by Kristin Chenoweth and Ellen Greene for Pushing Daisies.

Ooooooor

Aimee Mann's cover of Harry Nilsson's "One" from the Magnolia Soundtrack.

 

[General Vagueness]

Tainted Love by Soft Cell-- yes they weren't the original, though theirs is often (if not usually) considered a different version because of changing "girl" to "boy", "play" to "pray", and the last line or two being almost completely different, and Hurt done by Johnny Cash, originally by Nine Inch Nails-- both better than the original IMHO. Oh and Dancing Queen by Britney Spears for obvious reasons.

[GonzoGamer]

The best version of "All Along the Watchtower" I ever heard was with Dave Mattews and Santana in concert.
