I think the radiohead version of that Bond song - ‘nobody does it better’ is fucking fantastic. Don’t know if it was ever released properly, but I have a video of them playing it on MTV years ago. Back on Most Wanted with Ray Cokes.
The Dillenger Escape Plans cover of Come to Daddy (by Aphex Twin) is great too. Mike Patton sings. It’s crazy.

I like MM’s version of Sweet Dreams, haven’t heard Tainted Love, or much else they’ve done since Antichrist.
Also wanted to mention Muse’s version of Feeling Fine as being tres cool, and housemate says Flash (Queen, as in the film) by Tenacious D is his favourite :D

Ziggy Stardust by Bauhaus. Even Bowie thinks it’s better than the original.

Joe Cockers “she came in through the bathroom window” is awesome as well. It’s surpassed the others he’s done for me as my favorite.
