Pretty much every song ever remixed by Saitama Saisyu Heiki. Especially his FF6 decisive battle Remix Second Version.
OST SSH Remix
I caution you. Listen to one SSH song and all other music might seem a little inferior. Although that just might be the fanboy in me talking.
I find many parodies of popular songs and artists, like Dead Ringers' version of You're Beautiful by James Blunt, to be much better and more entertaining than the original..
Really? I don't think that cover does that song any justice (neither does their cover of "This Charming Man") but I'm a huge Kate Bush and The Smiths fan.
This. It is brilliant, although then again this is the same man that gave us Still Alive and Re:Your Brains, so I expect nothing less from him.
I also quite like the cover of Hey Ya! by The Blanks in Scrubs and I also quite like The Cab's version of Disturbia, which is odd, because I pretty much hate Rihanna's version. In fact, most of the songs on the Punk Goes Pop etc, I find are better than the originals
Also Street Sweeper Social Club's version of Paper Planes
That version is quite awesome. I put it on the same level as Within Temptation's cover. But I also love Kate Bush.
Everyone mention's Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt, but I saw that it is not better, as I love Nine Inch Nail's original, but Cash made it his own and I love it. What I will mention is his cover of Soundgarden's Rusty Cage. As good as the Soundgarden version is, Cash's kicks so much moe ass. This is the perfect song to play the Fallout series or any game with a post apocalyptic setting:
Sarah Slean does a cover of Jeff Buckley's Lilac Wine which I prefer over the original, but I cannot find a video for it on Youtube. If you can find it, it's fantastic.
HIM's cover of Wicked Game is so much better than Chris Issak's original:

Some of you have probably heard the song "It's the End of the World as We Know It" by REM.
I much prefer the cover done by the Canadian rock band Great Big Sea:
Sorry. Cleaned your post up a tiny bit. I love that you mentioned Great Big Sea. Being a Newfoundlander, it makes me very happy. Plus I gree with you. It's a much better version as it's even more upbeat and faster.
Seeings as I'm now on Newfie music I have to put up The Irish Decendants version of Rattlin' Bog. Craziest version you will ever hear, and the best. Their speed as they progress through the song would do any Speed Metal band proud:
Not really a cover per se, but the British show Ready Steady Go! (basically their MTV for the 60s-70s) did a special on Otis Redding, and they had Eric Burdon from the Animals sing Hold On I'm Coming. Simply Amazing
Also of course Otis Day and the Knights cover of Shout! b the Isley Brothers in the movie Animal House
