Laugh if you want to, really is kinda funny, 'cause the world is a car and you're the crash test dummy.

Don't mean to bring an old topic into light, but... Ask my roommates. I've got a ton of odd covers. Here's a small list of some of the more interesting things I've heard...

Sonata Arctica - Wind Beneath My Wings
A power metal version, well-acclimated to be up-beat. Inspirational!

Graveworm - Losing My Religion
Death metal cover, twisted further. My only peeve is that they don't growl the keys

Slayer - Ina Gadda Da Vida
Interestingly metal... But not the greatest

Tori Amos - Angie; Enjoy The Silence; Hurt; Landslide; Losing My Religion; Raining Blood; Smells Like Teen Spirit

Some of these are simple covers with a lot of depth, while in others, she drastically changes the face of the song, and not in a bad way, IMHO

Type O Negative - Paranoid
This one drags at a much slower, much more sullen pace than the original Black Sabbath tune. Still good in its own reflections, but much more to the lyrics than the original feel

Richard Cheese - Been Caught Stealing; Chop Suey; Enter Sandman; Just Like Heaven; Man In The Box; More Human Than Human; Rape Me; Sunday Bloody Sunday; Welcome To The Jungle; What's My Age Again?

I dunno if anyone's familiar with Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine, but listen to anything he's "(re)made". One of the various recent Dead zombie movies (the one with the girl who looks like Uma Thurman in the mall?) has a version of Down With The Sickness by Disturbed in it. Long and short is, this guy puts a very interesting twist on ANYTHING he does! Lounge music isn't the greatest thing, but mixed with the right cover,... It's funny as Hell!

Mariah Carey's version of Def Leppard's "Bringin' On The Heartbreak"

She butchered it.
You bring out the lemming in me.
