I love youtube, there are a ton of great cover songs there. What are everyone's favorite cover songs? Here's a few lesser known of mine I found, outside the scope of the normal "great cover songs" (SRV's Little Wing, Buckley's Hallelujah, etc).

Gourds- Gin and Juice

Oh, and if you call them covers... just about all the DKM songs...
Whilst I absolutely love the original Fields of Athenry, DKM's cover is just the tits.

To the left is a "stream option" -- I'd recommend that.

Ozzy w/Coal Chamber redid Gabriel's "Shock the Monkey". It's pimp.

Lacuna Coil did a great cover of Enjoy the Silence. Disturbed did a remake of Shout as well.
