What's the best cover of a Duran Duran song?

I really like The Deftones version of The Chauffeur. Are there any other good ones about?

    On my website, there's a list of all the Duran Duran covers I know about:

    http://www.durandurantimeline.com/trivia-duran-dur...

    (scroll all the way down)

    For pure bizarre-ness, nothing beats Wesley Willis doing "Girls on Film", but for listening, I like both "The Chauffeur" and "Night Boat" by the Deftones, as well as "Fire" by Ferry Corsten (which samples Duran's "Serious").

    The rap version of "Save a Prayer" was by 56K featuring Beejay, by the way, and "Ordinary World" has been covered at least six times that I know about.

    Good luck tracking these down!

    I think the band The Click Five should do a remake of a Duran Duran song. I love Duran Duran's song Ordinary World. I'm waiting for a remake on that song.

    Although I prefer the original songs by Duran2, I think there have been some pretty good covers.

    I like that remake too, but aparently there are more covers to this song, including a Sneaker Pimps one, pretty good actually
