nnyI'm going to assume, here, that everyone has heard 'Wonderwall' by Oasis. Even if you haven't I'm afraid I can't provide it as means for comparison because I don't actually like Oasis.
However, I do have two versions of Wonderwall which are both completely different to the original, in entirely opposite ways, and they're completely brilliant.
Wonderwall by Paul Anka.
All I know about Paul Anka is what my dad told me - apparently he used to write for Frank Sinatra, people like that. In any case, dad allowed me to copy a CD of his, which has such gems as 'Eye of the Tiger', 'Everybody Hurts' and 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' in lounge style. And, of course, this.
Wonderwall by Ryan Adams
Ryan Adams makes beautiful country music, his song 'New York New York' is one of the songs that makes me grin absolutely without fail any time it comes onto my playlist. This is a beautiful, quiet sad version.

*listens to Ryan Adams* I think I've heard this version before ... was it on Smallville once, maybe?

As far as Smallville goes, unfortunately I've only seen about two episodes. I've read most of the TWoP recaps, but that's as far as my knowledge goes. *sighs*
