Arcade Fire's version of The Talking Head's "Naive Melody (This Must Be The Place)"

And if you like covers, might I suggest coverville.com. It's a podcast where the guy plays all covers, and it generally has a theme. It's good fun to listen to!

The Nine Inch Nails cover of Dead Souls by Joy Division is pretty good, especially in the context it gets presented in during The Crow.

One of my all time favourite covers though is the cover of No, No, No done by the French trip-hop outfit Melaaz. It can be found on the Lamb Back To Mine; sweet, sultry and sexy.
