Rock:
Motorhead's cover of the Sex Pistols' GOD SAVE THE QUEEN is quite lovely, the Queen driving their bus in the video is a nice touch.
Eurodance:
Shanadoo's cover of Aneka's JAPANESE BOY is quite lovely, and so are those girls.
American Wave of New Metal:
Kittie's cover of Pink Floyd's RUN LIKE HELL is quite lovely, indeed.
Reggae:
not really a cover, but Cutty Ranks' BLOOD ON THE CORNER is done to the tune of C.C.R.'s DOWN ON THE CORNER, and it is not lovely, but an accurate account of inner city life.
Drum and bass:
Hopa & Bones ALI BABA, a remix of King Tubby and Augustus' ALI BABA RIDDIM
and
Badman's WAR IN '94, a remix of Cutty Ranks' LIMB BY LIMB
Dubstep:
I still haven't figured out what they sampled, but Spor's DEATHRAY is a truly amazing song. Yoda as the DJ in the video is cute too.
Techno:
Krafwerk's remake of their classic AUTOBAHN is good, and their so is their new RADIOACTIVITY
but now I'm not talking covers anymore so I will stop here.
BTW your suggestions are great as well everybody!

I can't believe someone did a cover of GIN AND JUICE.
That's where I would flip over the CD back in the days.
