Well, I'll put a good word in for Madonna's version, because it's been generally denounced by everyone, and regularly shows up on 'worst song ever' lists.
The original is so unique that covering it is too much of a challenge. In a way, Madonna's cover actually works, though I am not sure it works the way she planned it.
It's a breezy pop tune. I am not going to say she does better than the original (she doesn't), but she did have the hubris to try.
