Da Da Da covered by Crustacean Stretch Receptor.
Actually, that was just a friend of mine from college. He wore a hidden microphone during a party and went around trying to get people to quote lines from that song. Then he spliced them all in the correct order and mixed in a rhythm track from his Casio keyboard.
Swiddles:
Nope. This one’s a Cheap Trick original. Rick Nielson (of Cheap Trick) wrote it. Perhaps the version you heard was the studio version, as opposed to the more popular, faster/ louder/infinately more rockin’ live version. IMHO, the live version makes the original seem pretty silly.
As to my favorite covers…
Another vote for anything by Me First
Another vote for Physical by the Revolting Cocks (Newton John)
Another vote for Cars by Fear Factory (Gary Numan)
Janes Addiction’s Sympathy For the Devil (Stones)
Dinosaur Jr’s Just Like Heaven (Cure)
Whiskey In The Jar by Metallica (trad. Irish folk)
My Boyfriend’s Back by Bracket? (Chiffons)
Crimson and Clover by Joan Jett (Tommy James)
Do you Wanna Touch Me by Joan Jett (Gary Glitter)
Dreaming by The Smashing Pumpkins (Blondie)
Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos by Tricky (Public Enemy)
So many more… I love a good cover!
I don’t think so. I’ve got a classic rock compilation CD which includes the live Cheap Trick version of that song (“Hearts Of Gold,” Foundation Records catalogue CDP-96647). The liner notes list Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen as writer of the song. So unless someone else cut it before the writer’s own band, which is unlikely, it would appear that the Cheap Trick studio recording was the original. There is no question that the Letters to Cleo song is definitely the same song, and I must agree they do a great version of it.
“Faith” by Limp Bizkit was one of their best songs, next to “Counterfiet”…I like the fact they redid such a crappy song and it came out the way it did
I also really dig “Shout” by Disturbed…it’s one of the best covers I’ve ever heard
ELO’s cover of “Roll Over Beethoven” (originally by Chuck Berry, I think. I believe The Beatles’ version was also a cover)
Gary Hoey’s cover of “Hocus Pocus” (originally by Focus)
Jeff Healy’s cover of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” (orig. The Beatles)
Damn…I can’t believe I forgot to mention “Higher Ground” by the Chilli Peppers…my mistake
I also like “Whisky in the Jar” by Metallica, even though Hetfield makes it be “Whiskey in the Gyro” with his pronunciation shot to hell 
I thought of two more cool covers, both by Devo: “Workin’ In The Coal Mine”, and “Satisfaction”.
A few more good ones:
The Cure- World in My Eyes(Depeche Mode)
Mustard Plug- The Freshman(Verve Pipe)
Dope- You Spin Me(Dead or Alive)

I like the Incubus/Big Pun thing, though I don’t know the name. My brother just sent me a bootleg of Type O covering Light My Fire… I still can’t decide if I like it… I’ll get back to you…
