what is your favorite cover of a pre-existing poem?

could it be McKennit's cover of Highwayman, The Battlehyme of the Republic?, The Doors use of William Blake's Endlass Night, Fleetwood Mac using bits and pieces of Sylvia Plath, Johnny Cash, or the Byrds quoting the bible.

Loreena McKennitt's version of 'The Lady of Shalott' (even though she doesn't sing the entire poem because it's too long).
