Crazy Love by Van Morrison with Bob Dylan. The lyrics are almost embarrassing... but Bob Dylan's grating voice in the background rescues the song from its own corniness.

Come Together - the Beatles, from Abbey Road remastered.
This song always seemed to me like a moment of serendipity occurring entirely in John Lennon's drugged up head, hardly a classic cover song. So I was blown away when I found so many outstanding versions each of which absolutely stands on its own. Made for a long night =)
My favorites are listed below, or just go directly to my playlist on YouTube. Listen with headphones.
Impressive cover by Michael Jackson (live)
