Favorite cover song redux

What are some of your favorite cover songs? Only qualifications are that someone else officially released it first, and your choice is a remake. I bet we all have many. Original song in a video, and remake song in a video, all in the same post would be awesome, so everyone can compare them. Original song doesn't have to be rock, but rock is a must for the remake. Have fun !

Soundgarden sure always sounded like they were raised on Sabbath. "Outshined" always reminded me of Sabbath, and so does this. You sure can tell Sabbath was a HUGE influence on them.
