I already sent Star a link to Black Hole Sun covered by Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme.
we've got a number of Scala & Kolacny Brothers albums. there's something indescribable about teenage girls singing "I Touch Myself".
other things we've got:
Sabbatum (Black Sabbath)
Rebuild the Wall (Pink Floyd)
Fade to Bluegrass (Metallica)
and of course, we can't forget Eric Cartman's cover of Come Sail Away.
we have a fairly complete set of Weird Al albums as well. the parodies don't really count as covers, but the polka-ized songs do (e.g. "Bohemian Polka).

I always liked the BiGod 20 cover of Madonna's "Like a Prayer".
BiGod 20 was a techno/industrial group from the early 90s.

Is probably one of the Best and beats Trent Reznor's version.
