I would suggest listening to the original Neil Diamond version of Red, Red Wine and the UB40 version. Basically all UB40 did was make it a more reggaeish sound and add a dub bit in the middle and they took an absolutely awful song, turned it into something new, and made it theirs.

Hey, I agree. Check out the Tony Tribe version from 1969, if you're not familiar with it. It kind of reinforces your point, because all these versions are so different.
