MO should cover: California Girls.  That'd be a laugh riot.

The Remainders should cover: I dunno.

A song that should never be covered: Mmm-Bop.  Alas it has been.

Speaking of covers, KMFDM's cover of "Material Girl" is worth a listen if you can find it.  It's a bit absurd, but it is also Really, really good.

Dido did a beautiful cover of "Anyway" by Dynamite Hack which is one of about 8 hidden tracks on the Dynamite Hack album.  (A word of warning: DH is a loud punk band, and not a good one.)

U2's cover of "Unchained Melody" is my favorite version of the song, and Amy Grant's "Big Yellow Taxi" is the best of the three versions floating around right now.  (Westlife's is the worst.)
