Oh - and yet another example: Pet Shop Boys cover version of Always on My Mind. Astonishingly brilliant, and completely different. They made the song their own (and it was also a number 1 hit).

Recently used, to heartbreaking effect, in All of Us Strangers. That's another of my all-time favourite records I now can't hear without getting tears in my eyes, thanks to that film (Queen and David Bowie's Under Pressure is another one, thanks to its use in Aftersun).
