Australian group TISM (This Is Serious Mum) covering...well, themselves (sort of)...on traditional Greek instruments.
I say "sort of", because IIRC it was confirmed at one point that most of the guys doing this cover weren't actually members of the group, and were instrumentalists recruited specifically for this recording.
No way of actually knowing due to the masks though (which was kind of the point), but TISM did have a long history of getting random dudes to don the masks and fuck around with them on stage and for music videos/recorded performances when they needed to fill out their ranks.

The Bird and The Bee have made two excellent tribute albums: one to Hall and Oates and one to Van Halen.

Fuck yes, I love dub covers/remixes.
Same, it's great when the song goes in the opposite direction as well. Reggae covers by artists mainly known for a different genre. TBH, I've always just liked covers in general.

Now I'll pay my posting tax with the obligatory (but not particularly unusual) cover,
The Headstones doing "Tweeter and the Monkey Man":
And the original by The Travelling Wilbury's:

Here's something if you like Gorillaz. Very atmospheric and chilled out.

Trying to download the FLAC right now. Zero Seeders, 35 peers. Sad.

Thanks for 4 minutes of insanity. BRB, washing the blood out of my ears.

Edit: Since I'm in the thread again, have another. Possibly my favorite cover song.
CAKE does "I Will Survive":
Gloria Gaynor's classic banger:
I love CAKE, they do a lot of genre crossing.

Tears For Fears covering Animal Collective's most notable hit, My Girls.

 
a modern cover of Liberia, land of Liberty sung by a Liberia.

Song doesn't sound right without President Tubman
