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

This cover by the Afghan Whigs of the song "Lost in the Supermarket" by The Clash is really good:

Dude, London Calling (the Clash album this song is from) sold over 5 million copies. They are in no way obscure.
