Gotta say the best ever cover versions of any song I've ever heard is between:

Muse - Feeling Good (Originally by Nina Simone)

and

Placebo - Running Up That Hill (Originally by Kate Bush)

Aretha Franklin - Dark End of the Street

My favorite song probably of all time. Actually I really, really love every cover Aretha has ever done, she's just brilliant.
