There's a professional cover-producer with a barn full of banjo-pluckers, the "Pickin' On ___" series.

Some are real toss-up up-chuck. Some are.... thought provoking.

Cowgirl sure works good.

There's also a Pickin' On Santana, Black Magic Woman, which is far better than you would fear.

Some very good country pickers with obvious love for rock pick on Pink:

The CD in my car has Brick..Wall parts 1 2 3 alternating Pink in studio, Wright, Pink in concert. Wright uses humor but you can't make fun of something this well until you love it.

Do not forget a grand-daddy of odd cover songs: "Wild Thing" sung in the vocal style of Bobby Kennedy, flipside as-by Everett Dirksen, circa 1967.

I have a collection of covers of Berry's Memphis. There is a very old treatment which seems nominal until they sing in Quebec French. There's a Scandanavian(?) accordion player who really goes to town on Memphis.
 
yeah, the Hayseed Dixie 'ace of spades' is cool an; all...

but I'm afraid that Eli 'paperboy' Reed OWNS that song now...

This looked promising but was only a lost snippet.  Would have been funny hearing McCartney delivering those lines . . .

Wish the audio quality was better on this one:

Senor Coconut seems to have carved out a niche covering Kraftwerk songs in a Latin Jazz style. It's worth waiting for the signature riff - highly surreal.
