As a cover song junkie, I have all of them. They range from uneven to inspired to bizarre. The Wiggles one Devin linked to's pretty insane.

The idea of Mental as Anything covering "Enter Sandman" is just too wonderful for words. Must track it down.

In addition to his contributions there, Neil Finn also did a stunning cover of "There is a Light That Never Goes Out."

"Thanks" for the Wiggles link, Devin.

Wow, this brings back memories. Prior to being on the radio, Denton had TV show where the musical act at the end of each episode was always a cover of Stairway to Heaven.
