Got to be "Common People" by William Shatner (Captain Kirk) for me.
Your favourite cover version from the most unlikely source.

My all time favourite musician, Ben Folds, was the brain/talent behind that Shatner album TBF.

Ziggy Statdust by Bauhaus is an excellent cover of the Bowie classic.
As is the Anti Nowhere League cover of the Ralph McTell song Streets of London.
Definitely worth a listen imo.

Have to say, a huge fan of Wuthering Heights, by China Drum.
And, straight from left field, How Soon is Now by t.A.T.u:

Really must chuck this in too.
"If I Had A Hammer" sung by the award-winning kid singers for the "Love & Peace - Greatest Hits For Kids"...
... and Brian Johnson.

Top album that is. "I Can't Get Behind That" and "You'll Have Time" are works of genius.
Indeed. ^

You've said this before on one of my music threads. I disagreed then and I disagree now. I'm listening to them all and I'm sure others will too.
That is superb! Great find!

I like the Less than Jake version, if only for the line:
“And if I heva,
whatever the fuck that means”

And a few from me:
Disturbed's fantastic cover of Phil Collins' Land Of Confusion...
Italian avante-garde jazz artist Maria Pia De Vito covering Jimi Hendrix's If Six Was Nine in a fairly straight style that's bugger all like any of her other stuff...
[edit: four times in a row, it seems]
South Korean jazz singer Youn Sun Nah covering Stan Jones' country and western classic Ghost Riders In The Sky...

Toy Dolls do a whole pile of covers that are very good, as do the Macc Lads. Their "An Orifice and A Genital" album has some cracking stuff on it.
Also: doesn’t even have a YouTube page.
A Change is Gonna Come (Live), by Hue And Cry

I love Hue And Cry, I do.
I bought a jazz album of theirs, Next Move in a top-end hifi shop years ago. It was on Linn Records, Linn being a top-end hifi separates manufacturer that also releases amazingly-produced music to play on good hifi gear.
Awesome album. And actually it has an "unlikely cover" on it too, Sign O The Times by Prince. Looks like that one isn't on YouTube though.
Love this album
Not got that one. I have Jazz Not Jazz but I wasn’t keen. Prefer their earlier stuff like Piano and Voice and their live stuff. Saw them live in a Edinburgh as a student, just two of them and a piano in an old church and it was spine tingling.I love Hue And Cry, I do.
