    Ozzy did a version of Stayin’ Alive, with Dweezil Zappa I think. It was fun.

    Nuclear Assault had a crack at Ballroom Blitz. It wasn’t terrific.

    I quite like this:

    Actually, sorry if this prematurely closes a promising thread (because I can’t see anything coming close to this), but here’s Lemmy showing you who’s the boss:

    Does punk qualify (not really wanting to open the punk / rock / metal worm can though)?

    If so, the Clash’s version of “I Fought the Law” isn’t bad..

    This is a pretty faithful cover of a non-rock song by a rock band, so it has to count:

    Same band, different, easy-listening song:

    There’s really no way I can get through this without admitting to liking Limp Bizkit, might as well get it over with. This is ace

    Can I cancel that out with a bit of Sepultura?

    Gun and Word Up for me.

    Going the other way, I once heard an awesome dance version of Ace of Spades.
