I was listening to "It is the business of the future to be dangerous" the other day, and that has a cover of Gimmie Shelter, done in a very Hawkwind way.

Still a favourite.

My fave cover version has always been Walk on By , by the Stranglers.
I also prefer the Futureheads version of Hounds of Love to Kates original - Much to Mr P's disgust

Not a cover version as such but when the temptations were delivered the lines of pappa was a rolling stone by the song writers one of the band went fruit loop as his dad died on the third of September.
Song has the longest introduction of any non instrumental song in the US charts I believe.

Cat Stevens and peace train was a good one.
10,000 maniacs pulled it from the album after Islam went on a rant about Rushdie.
Robertson: You don't think that this man deserves to die?
Y. Islam: Who, Salman Rushdie?
Robertson: Yes.
Y. Islam: Yes, yes.
Robertson: And do you have a duty to be his executioner?
Y. Islam: Uh, no, not necessarily, unless we were in an Islamic state and I was ordered by a judge or by the authority to carry out such an act - perhaps, yes.
[Some minutes later, Robertson on the subject of a protest where an effigy of the author is to be burned]
Robertson: Would you be part of that protest, Yusuf Islam, would you go to a demonstration where you knew that an effigy was going to be burned?
Y. Islam: I would have hoped that it'd be the real thing
Now I've been crying lately,
thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating,
why can't we live in bliss

Twist and Shout was the big cover version, gave the beatles a credence in America after the Isley brothers version.
The Isley brother have a fantastic cover version album called "givin' it back"
The housemartins covered caravan of love and I cannot complete the loop back to the beatles.

I think I was influenced by her hat in the video.
