once in awhile a remix comes along
and just takes a song to another level..
here are some that i like..
and the lame originals.
suzanne vega - toms diner (ugh)

a boring snoozefest of an acappela
and then the funky remix

====================================================
figures on a beach - accidentally fourth street (not bad)

the remix (manchester era sounding)
----------------------------------------
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKOqVacHAUk

-----------
one dove - why don't you take me

the underworld remix up 2 down
-----------------------------------
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXajFAsYN9c
most of underworld remixes transform the song
into something completely different and unrelated,
much like aphex twin (richard james) remixes too.
there's some st. etienne mixes too like that.
(well a lot of them)..
see if you can think of some.
later
