Music redone by another artist

In the same vein, there's this famous one. Great version, cool video (Michel Gondry!)
Mad World - Gary Jules

I personally prefer the original

Then you have a rare occasion where the same artist can have two brilliant and distinct versions of the same song. Case in point, Alphaville's Forever Young:
Original LP version:

 

[SirWanker]

Extended dance mix

 

[SirWanker]

Regarding Tainted Love, I like the Marilyn Manson Version

the Dark Lord of the Covers is also known for covering the Eurthymics' Sweet Dreams

 

[SirWanker]

Speaking of Sweet Dreams, the Eurythmics have remastered the original video for this song in proper, glorious 1080p

This is a favourite of mine, Yanni's Aria. It is his take on Lakmé -The Flower Duet.

 

[SirWanker]

Yanni started out as a one man New Age synth band and has since expanded to include orchestral and vocal components. An excellent example is his re-working of In The Mirror to Nei Tuoi Occhi (In The Mirror)
