Has an artist covered your music that stands out?

Has another artist covered one of your songs? If so, do any stand out to you as being amusing?

I wrote a song a few years ago called "I Don't Like That Girl". It had a sweet melody and sounded jangly pop-rock with my band; but the lyrics were not as happy as the music. The words were even edited in the writing process to make them a bit less sinister. An example is there is a line that says almost nicely in the performance (regarding the girl) "and I would like her gone". But my original lyric was "and I would like her dead" but that did not flow as well. haha

Unfortunately the only recording I have of "I Don't Like That Girl" is one of me without my band playing acid loops. The guitar vibe of the song got overshadowed by the electronic beats I was learning to use; and yet, this fellow found that recording and decided to cover the song anyway. What's funny is he used the original music I wrote, but changed my lyrics to make it an "answer" song. The title was changed from "I Don't Like That Girl" to "I Don't Like That Girl Either". I was surfing and found that the cover is actually posted on the net so thought I'd link to it here.
