Ry Cooder did an excellent cover version.

Check Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday, so mournful it is sometimes referred to as the “Hungarian Suicide Song.” Enough suicides were attributed to it as to lead to its being banned in Hungary.

I do get weird unrelated ads on this site as well, but never that weird...
