Not a fan of Dolly myself, but I do like the cover and I cannot explain why...

Have a bunch of their stuff. It's funny that they can done only covers and be so good. I know that it's a side job from the main band, but they do a great job.

Blues Traveler does a cover of this song in concert that is unbelievable!!! They usually start the set off with it, break into another song inthe middle then end the set with it. Popper on the harmonica doing the fiddle part is just a sight to see.
I am usually not a person that likes covers better than the real song, but this is definitely up there.
Here's an OLD SCHOOL version of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l83dArJkQzs

I don't have any links, but a couple weeks ago I heard a cover of Lionel Ritchie's "Easy" done by Faith No More...it was so horrible that I laughed my tuckus off

Re: Interesting Covers of Classic Hits
 

I was wondering if someone was gonna bring up Richard Cheese....

And they did.

I liked Whiskey in the Jar from Thin Lizzy, just their version of a centuries-old folk song.
Their lead singer just kills it.

How about this:

I love me some Phil Lynott. (Emerald is still one of my favorite songs - especially the live version). No pretty video, but I found the sound on this version better and some good audience sing-a-long.

and if that isn't enough Whiskey in the Jar for you, here is U2 doing it with the only remarkable thing about it being the audience singing.
