This doesn't qualify as the best cover version, but it's unquestionably the most bizarre.
A couple of years ago when I was in Finland I was on a train, and a young skinhead got on. I mean a full-on neo-Nazi: he had the swastikas, the S.S. logos, the lot. And he was listening to music on his portable C.D. player, really loudly and sung in English so that it was possible for me to hear and understand every word. It was really, really nasty stuff, all about the concentration camps and the final solution and everything - the kind of music you wish just didn't exist.
. . . And then, out of nowhere, the band on the C.D. he's listening to breaks into a cover of "Dancing Queen" by ABBA. Seriously. I think it was probably some kind of Aryan supremacy thing, covering a song by a Swedish band.
(By the way, unfortunately every country on earth has people like this - don't let it put you off going to Finland, it's an amazing country and the people are, generally speaking, just lovely.)

Dunno if these have been mentioned, but...
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Nothing Compares To You
Marilyn Manson - I Put A Spell On You
Muse - Feeling Good
And anything by Richard Cheese, but especially his version of Radiohead's Creep.
Two_Tone:
Tom Waits-Heigh Ho (The Marching Song)
The sven dwarves turned into wailing industrial drums and Tom Waits sipping brandy on his way home from the mine.
