Claps Your Hands Say Yeah - Heavy Metal
Except, as actual Heavy Metal.
Something by the prodigy will probably be power metalfied.
Der Golem:
In my book, taking a metal song and turning it into an acoustic ballad or taking a calm, relaxing song and doing a metal version of it is neither weird nor particularly clever. There are other genres too you know. Try to funk up some Tom Waits or do a blues rendition of some pop-punk track or something.
TrueNeutral:
Yeah, but: We're a metal band, and like I said, we're trying to make the 'mainstream' audience go 'wtf?'. I doubt they even heard of Tom Waits. Not any of the people I know, anyway. Besides, we're terrible, so we need some simple things to start with.
amok:
I was going to think of an original reply to this thread but ever since I heard "dub will tear us apart" it's been my stock answer for every covers topic ever.
(it's just an EP Of 4 dub reggae covers of Joy Division classics. Quite awesome.)

Well then metal covers it is. They can be quite awesome too, if done well. (And even if they're done badly it will still make people go "wtf?") Have you heard Fantomas' Directros Cut? They have some truly wicked hardcore/metal/avant-garde covers of film music.
