Gazelle Twin did a really good version of that earlier this year, it could almost be AC Marias, which I suppose is highly appropriate.

McSleazy's recent thread on awful covers led me here. BUMP!! Please, continue contributing to this.

I'll contribute here with some FLAMENCO... Yes, I'm serious!
Enrique Morente & Lagartija Nick - First We Take Manhattan. I love this cover, but I really cannot keep a serious face when I hear them pronounce "Manhattan" with their Andalusian accent... :D

Here's Rick Springfield's old band ZOOT doing a cover of "Eleanor Rigby"

Zoot - Eleanor Rigby

Some might say it's not a good cover, but I like what they did with it.
