I think that's a good list. All these covers are
awesome.
I mean, and granted the fact that I don't like Marilyn Manson at all, but his cover of Tainted Love was actually performed quite well. In fact, that's probably the only thing I could remotely stand of his.

Save Ferris covering men at work's "come on eileen"
Golfinger covering "99 red baloons" (not sure who first did it)
Cake covering Diana Ross's "I will surivive"
Urge overkill covering "girl, you'll be a women soon"
The Goldfinger cover is awesome too. I dunno why I forgot that
. BTW, it was originally performed by the German band Nena, and had two different versions, a German one and an English one. The Goldfinger cover does a really nice job of combining the two, IMO. And Men At Work didn't do "Come On, Eileen" originally; it was Dexy's Midnight Runners.
