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

Do obscure rap samples count? Because I love these two:

To the original question, I would pick RHCP cover of Sly and the Family Stone's song If You Want Me To Stay.

Also Type O's cover of Seals and Croft's song Summer Breeze
