I was attracted to “Perfect Day” by this BBC version. But the Lou Reed version, monotone as it is, seems quite popular.
**Who has the best version of this lovely tune?

Damn, Susan Boyle got some pipes!
I was going to mention the Susan Boyle version. Love it. I seem to recall that I know of another great one, but I can’t remember what I’m thinking of at all right now.
Also, I’m guessing you meant this to be in Cafe Society, so I reported it for you.
For a less melodramatic version, I like Faith Yang & Eason Chan (stop the video after the song is done to avoid a spoiler for the movie Taiyo no Uta). Though “After Hours” is actually her best Lou Reed cover.
That version (on your link) is not available in my area.
Duran Duran - Perfect Day
See if you can watch via this link. It’s a somewhat crappy recording of a live performance, and it’s not complete, but you get the idea.
Since there is no factual answer possible, moved from GQ to Cafe Society.

Wait until I break out my ontological argument. You’ll see. You’ll all see! MUAHAHAHA!
I prefer Lou’s if asked, so I am going to add a pretty good one and we can hash out which is best later.
