Nick Cave's cover of "In The Ghetto" (From Her To Eternity)

Wall of Voodoo - ring of fire
I first heard this in the porno movie Nightdreams, (a great scene with two cowgirls with revolver shaped dildos)

Mention of the Bee Gees made me think of Al Green.
All of Al Green's covers were better than the originals.
"How Can You Mend A Broken Heart," "For The Good Times," "Unchained Melody," and more that I'm not remembering right now.
