Over the years, some very unlikely singers have covered songs that no one would have expected. Get a load of some of these:
William Shatner (yes, Captain Kirk!) did maybe one the worst covers of all time, when he butchered Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man".
The Rolling Stones' much-covered "Jumpin' Jack Flash" has been covered by The Beach Boys (onstage, though never released), 70's teen idol Leif Garrett (ditto), and Motorhead (and you thought Mick was hard to understand, imagine Lemmy!).
Deep Purple covered Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman", The Beatles covered Meredith Wilson's "Til There Was You" and some of the other unusual covers include:
Paul Anka-Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Rolf (Tie Me Knagaroo) Harris-"Stairway To Heaven"
Children Of Bodom (A heavy metal band from Finland)-Britney Spears'-"Oops I Did It Again"
Alien Ant Farm had a minor hit with Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal"
Pat Boone did an entire album of heavy metal covers (I'M NOT KIDDING)
and...Sid Vicious did Paul Anka's "My Way" (best known for Frank Sinatra and Elvis).
