Weird Covers
Storm Rider:
Damn, somebody beat me to the Children of Bodom one. Also, Exodus covered Low Rider. It's totally awesome.
Kai:
Oh, we're talking about actual weird covers now, eh? Zombie Apocalypse's cover of Welcome to the Jungle. Some metal band covered Europe's The Final Countdown, and CoB usually get the credit, although I know it's not them. The Residents' cover of Zappa's King Kong, not to mention Hank Williams and John Phillips Sousa, and their cover of The Rolling Stones' Satisfaction is essential, as well as their twisted album of covers of pop music from the 60's, The Third Reich N' Roll. Not sure if they covered it on any official release, but Primus covers Rush's La Villa Strangiato Master of Puppets live alot. They covered Floyd's Have a Cigar, and The Residents' Sinister Exaggerator (And on numerous occasions have done Constantinople and Hello Skinny). Phish have covered Zappa's Peaches En Ren. Oysterhead does a shitload of covers live; the oddest one I have is House of the Rising Sun.

Even if they said it in interview?
Oh and Zappa has done a real f-up cover of Hendrix's Purple Haze... weirdest shit I've ever heard... until Animal Collective last month.
Patrick:
What you should do with covers is try putting the song to every musical style you can think of. The thing that came to mind when I read the title of this thread was a bossa-nova style cover of The Beatles' "With A Little Help From My Friends". IT was brilliant. ^__^

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.
