I hope a remix by a different band counts too, otherwise I wouldn't be able to introduce my Birgit-M-Going-Crazy-On-The-Dancefloor-Song:
Never Wanted To Dance - Combichrist (Electro Hurtz Mix), the original version by Mindless Self Indulgence is cool too!
Voyage Voyage - Black Nail Cabaret, but I freely admit that I also love the original version by Desireless!
Where You Are - VNV Nation, a remix of the original song by Deine Lakaien, which again is great!

Lol, someone else who hates cover versions. So do I, usually. Most of them are just silly and superfluous imo.
