Comedy covers aside - I still love this version of Superstar by Sonic Youth.
Thanks to Bob Mills for introducing me to it!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y21VecIIdBI
Most of the 60's great rock tracks by Zeppelin/Stones/etc were blues covers!

Many years ago, I recollect a group potentially called Leather Nun doing a cover of Abba's Gimme, Gimme, Gimme....it was great....

Can't corroborate the song but yes, i can confirm Leather Nun. It was a band Neil Linford, who was the coolest kid at school was championing in probably 86 or 87?

The Meads Of Asphodel covered Wonderful World, sang it like Louis but changed the lyrics.
Alice Donut did a superb cover of war Pigs but replaced Ozzy's vocals with a trombone.
Apocalyptica (4 Finnish Cellists and a drummer) covered David bowie's Heroes renaming it Helden and putting the vocalist from Rammstein to work on it in his mother tongue.
Dead Kennedys version of Viva Las Vegas is pretty good fun.All well worth fishing out on youtube (as always, if I knew what I was doing I'd post 'em here meself).

911 is a joke - Duran Duran
+1
A lot of bands try too hard to be cute with cover versions, but apparently Duran Duran were deadly serious when they covered this.
Snuff were the kings of the wacky cover version though, eh?
