That’s nothing. Try this version of “Enter Sandman”:
I’ve heard “Enter Sandman” played by a high school marching band.
My own personal introduction to “Smoke on the Water” was junior high band. Yes, really.
Mine, too, oddly enough.
Some songs are so loathsome that it’s a blessing when they are finally put out of their misery (the Bonzos are a genre all to themselves).
I’m fond of the Los Straitjackets version.
Too bad they couldn’t have gotten this Brazilian guy to do the vocals (Enter Sandman at 2:26):
Alrighty, then! This makes it Official. I am NOT a Funk-Sucker.
Dar Williams did a cover of Comfortably Numb that is so abhorrent, I won’t link it, because I like you people and don’t want to hear it ever again.
Saw this in Germany, on the Euro MTV, in '95 or '96. Rather liked it.
Ruined forever? Not hardly.

I like Curtis Stiger, The Forest Rangers, and several other indie artists from Sons of Anarchy a bit, too.
A down-tempo, bluesy cover of Bohemian Rhapsody (at least until the outro):

Convoi! was a band from Austin, Texas that played country songs in punk style, and vice versa. They did a Tejano version of London Calling, but I can’t seem to find it online. Here’s their version of green Day’s Basket Case.
