MUSIC - What is the deepest cover song you know? (slrpnk.net)

By deep I mean with the most obscure original. I am not talking 'all along the watch tower' but things like Fever Ray's cover of Vashti Bunyan's song Here before

Fever Ray is relatively well known while Bunyan had very limited success

Hard to pick one, but murder by death has quite the number of them... But them covering the 90s rnb classic 'creep' was a shock

Bizarre Love Triangle. The original is some very bad pop music. New Years Day brought it not only to rock, but into being really good too.

The Breeders "Drivin' on 9" was a cover of song by an obscure band called Ed's Redeeming Qualities. The Breeders version is IMO sweet and meloncholy but the original is rather weird.
