My ten favorite cover songs without doing too much digging and in alphabetical order by cover artist are:

Ahmet and Dweezil Zappa - ...Baby One More Time (originally by Britney Spears)
Pseudo Echo - Funky Town (originally by Lipps, Inc)
Daughter Darling - Dust In The Wind (originally by Kansas)
Iron & Wine - Such Great Heights (originally by The Postal Service)

Michael Franti, Spearhead, and Gift of Gab - What I Got (originally by Sublime)

Like Fall_Child42, I love cover songs (especially when sung by the opposite gender), so I could easily go on.

But I won't.
