I think that if Miss Piggy sang Good Girl to Janice. I would die!
I hated when school did a cover of Firework. It sucked more than Justin Bieber.

George Thorogood's cover of "Purple People Eater" really isn't that great... for starters, it doesn't even SOUND like George Thorogood singing, secondly, you can't really even hear the Purple People Eater's lines, and lastly, after it does its little rock-n-roll lick through the horn in his head, then it suddenly turns into the guitar riff from "Bad to the Bone".

There's something about Isao Tomita's cover of "The Planets" suite by Gustav Holst that I like a whole lot more. Maybe it's the entirely synthesized, but still very organic-sounding sound that gives off that space opera vibe to it.

Mr. Hopkins is having fun singing Scooby Doo. He also wrote their two best songs (in my opinion) "Found Out About You" and "Hey Jealousy" - songs with such a strong atmosphere, that many songs lack. Real deep.

The Replacements cover the song "Cruella de Vil" from "101 Dalmatians"!

I remember hearing some really bad A Capella band doing the Scooby-Doo theme song and getting the lyrics completely wrong.

I couldn't name it or pick up any examples, but get the freaking lyrics right when you cover something, darnit.

I just found this cover of "Sweet Child o' Mine", and I have to say...

It's the best song I've ever heard.

 

[Twisted Tails]

I found this cover of Enya's Only Time and this is certainly one of the best covers I have ever heard today. It's acapella and the harmonies are not so bad.
