Answer 1

Travis doing hit me baby one more time or the artic monkeys cover of girls aloud love machine

Answer 2

It's a tie and I love them both:

Type O Negative covering Seals and Croft's "Summer Breeze"

Frank Zappa's "Stairway To Heaven" from the live "The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life" double CD

and one I hate

Pat Boone singing Ozzie's "Crazy Train"

That must be the seventh sign of the Apocalypse right there.

Answer 3

I have heard "The lion sleeps tonite" by REM. Its interesting, though I prefer their version of Leonard Cohen's "First We Take Manhattan" -
As to the weirdest cover I have heard it must be "Azucar Moreno's" cover of the Rolling Stones "Paint It Black" Its sort of a Flamenco version of the Stones classic. Interesting is the word to describe it !!

Answer 4

Darius on Pop Idol doing Brittany Spears

Answer 5

Ukulele version of Wuthering Heights or Sisters Of Mercy's Jolene

Answer 6

There's Roger Whittaker doing Stariway to Heaven. There's Tom Jones doing Waltzing maltilda (made even odder given the fact it was recorded in front of Frank Zappa).

Answer 7

Johnny B. Good-covered by Judas Priest

Answer 8

Inspection 12 covering the Super Mario Bros. Theme songs ("Worlds 1-1.1-2). It's not really as bizarre as it is cool.

The Gourds did a country version of Snoop's "Gin & Juice". That's kind of bizarre.

Answer 9

Peter Sellers' cover of The Beatles 'A Hard Day's Night' - this was done in the form of a Shakespearean soliloquy.

Answer 10

Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson.
