Good Remixes of Old Songs

I really like hip-hop, R&B, and rap from the 90s and 00s. A lot of great songs came out during that period that were ruined by remixes, and I personally never liked remixes of the same song—those versions that didn’t change much and just made it worse. Radio edits and some with explicit censorship were good, but post-release features had a high chance of being total shit. On the other hand, some remixed versions of old songs like O Mio Babbino Caro and Daydream are really good:

There’s an old song that would work well as a remix but I haven’t found any;

does anyone know a version of I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire?

I’m open to suggestions for other songs too.

Here’s a good example of what isn’t a good remix with autotune, generic beats, messing with the vocal pitch—a listenable song but a terrible remix:
