There's a TOTALLY rockin' version of Boys Of Summer by a group called The Ataris.
This is one of the most 'covered' songs ever -- it's a standard, I'd say -- but there's a cool version of Route 66 by Depeche Mode that was on the soundtrack for Earth Girls Are Easy -- fun movie.
The Pointer Sisters' version of Fire by Bruce Springsteen certainly redefined that song.
Devo's version of Satisfaction is a riot.
Killing Me Softly by the Fugees
Cocaine and After Midnight by Eric Clapton (covers of JJ Cale). Cale also wrote Call Me The Breeze.
Joss Stone has a very cool version of Some Kind Of Wonderful (Grand Funk Railroad).
Which reminds me, she did an ok Janis tribute at the Grammys a few years ago ... but Melissa Etheridge TOTALLY tore up Piece Of My Heart!!! and she was bald cause of her chemo... somehow the impact of that just added something.
The whole soundtrack CD of Me, Myself and Irene is comprised of Steely Dan covers, if you like them. :P I like several of those.
