Siouxsie & the Banshees cover of The Beatles 'Dear Prudence'...excellent.

Not forgetting Rolf Harris' version of 'Stairway to Heaven'

Mrs Robinson - Feeder

Come on Eileen - No Doubt

There is a BMX video that has numerous classic 80's hits covered in a punk stylee. They are brilliant, the band is called 'Clubber Lange', I can't find anything of theirs to buy or download though.
