Any great covers of pop songs? (like Paul Gilbert doing ABBA!)

I just recently found that someone posted Paul Gilbert doing an awesome cover of ABBA's "Dancing Queen".

It was a totally random thing too, so it got me wondering if there's other similar CDLC covers out there?

Do you have a favorite you want to share?  I have no idea what to search for even if I were to try.

    I'll answer my own question...sheesh...lol

    There's a great ska version of "Come On Eileen" by Save Ferris.  Super fun.

    And, Brian Setzer does a banging version of "Sleepwalk"

    haha...I was going to say Slade doing "Cum On Feel The Noise" is great too...but that's the original!  I didn't know that!

    NOW, any others you can think of?

    Halestorm's Bad Romance DLC is a pop cover I like.

     

    There's a CDLC cover of Michael Jackson's (somewhat obscure song) They Don't Care About Us that is fun.  The tuning is non-standard so I don't play it super often but if I do end up in that tuning I do play it.

    Yeah, that Halestorm cover rocks!  I think I like it more than the original.

     

    Will check out that MJ cover...although since I have a Floyd on my guitar, alternate tunings are mostly verboten...lol

    Don;t think there's cdlc for any of these, and their really should be.

    THAT TOY DOLLS SONG ROCKS!!!! Haha...I love the band and am always surprised when I bump into anyone who's ever heard of them.  Pity too...Olga's an insanely good guitarist!

    Yeah it's in D drop C which is pretty odd but the song is really pretty good. 

     

     I have a digitech drop tuner and while the I don't use a floyd, I do have evertune lol, but anyway it's just tune to drop D then use the drop tuner to drop it all down another half step.
