Most of the above mentioned covers are quite good, but two that I particularly like are local bands:
Bobaflex: They cover a Jackson5 song (not sure which one) with their usual heavy instrumentals, but vocals that are a spot-on match for a young Michael Jackson.
Another local band, Natural Born Losers, does a medley of covers, including Tight Fitting Jeans, He Stopped Loving Her Today, and Jesse's Girl...they're working on Take On Me, which should be hilarious.
I love covers, they're sometimes better than a band's original material (and often better than the original band's version, just for the novelty factor).
