The correct answer has to be a cover version that completely obliterates the original. So: Amy Winehouse, "Valerie."
Also (though I think it only exists on YouTube) I have a soft spot for Fiona Apple's cover of "The Whole of the Moon."

Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.
