Great thread idea! :)

I'll post two.  The first has been one of my favorite covers for almost 20 years, and the second is one I just heard today for the first time.

Okay, I was looking for one I knew about from Frank Zappa, and found out he did a bunch.

I Am the Walrus (embed disabled)

And this;

There's a whole album's worth - Syd Barret, Bowie, T-Rex, Steely Dan (seriously, Steely Dan) and this entirely ficked up version of Destination Unknown
Missing Persons
Replicants
