Weird Covers
Waffles:
I was hanging out at a friend's party, he had a karaoke machcine, a couple cds. there was a lot of new angsty chick rock (like "since u been gone", tho i didnt think thats the one I did), and so a friend of mine told me to go do it and w/ hardcore lyrics... So I sang it (No mics required) Hardcore/Screamo/Metal style. It converted perfectly... just add a distorted bass guitar and you're good to go. Its an easy one, not so wierd, but it does the job.
Something like Zero by the Smashing Pumpkins on whimsical instruments... a little hand drum, and a flute/xylophone, with little kid style sing-song vocals - gotta rearrange the rhythmics on the whole song to make it work, but it could easily be done...
uhm... i can totally hear it... it makes me giggle...
seriously. somebody do that. if nobody else does I will, except since I dont have a xylophone i'd have to use my piano, two octaves above what the song should be.
*gigglefit*

The best cover of all time is Iron and Wine doing Such Great Heights by the Postal Service
It is not often I find a cover I like better than the original

It's been done, live by Type O Negative several times. They've also done Daytripper.

If you want wierd, you've got to do something totally off the fucking wall, I mean, not even rock. An NWA cover, or Kylie Minogue, or something. That's why Overlords cover of Girls Aloud's 'Sound of the Underground' and Brujeria's warped cover of the Macarena (Marijuana) are so good: because they're SO wrong.

Yeah, we found a good one for really off the wall. Pussycat Dolls - Dont Cha. Personally, I despise the song, but meh. We're changing around the lyrics a bit to 'God I wish' instead of 'Don't you wish'. Trying to make it into speed metal but I don't know if that'll work. Might go grunge on that one.
sketchyjoe:
Anything the Residents covered/desecrated is pretty cool. DEVO had some great covers, particularly Satisfaction. The Toy Dolls covered the Final Countdown using Kazoos. There's a great band called the Ramonetures who have surf cover albums of the Ramones and X. Nothing else comes to mind right now although I'm sure there's more I think of later.
TrueNeutral:
I have a couple of songs by some band doing lounge covers of Nirvana which are pretty cool. I just can't remember what they're called.
